2012 Challenge: Henry Green Week

 

FINISHED

Stu at Winstonsdad's Blog hosted a challenge-type event called Henry Green Week from January 23 to 29, 2012.  Click on the button or the link for more details or to sign up. 

I read Green's best-known book, Loving, because it was on the modern Library's Top 100 list.  It didn't knock my socks off, but I've been meaning to give him another chance.  So this event may be just what I need to find the inspiration to continue with the trilogy.

I have the second and third books of the trilogy, Living and Party Going, on my TBR shelf. I am going to read Living for this event.

UPDATE:  This challenge is completed. I read Living and reviewed it here.  I didn't like Living any more than I liked Loving.  I will probably finish Party Going one of these days because it is on my TBR shelf, but I'm not in any hurry.
