Fydor is a bad person to fall in love with because he won't love me back. Besides being dead, I don't think he loved anything. His books are love letters to misery. Cheerful travel reading!<BR/><BR/>I remember the Dyvine Ryans. Eva recommended it to me and I loved it. I wish I could have had the background on the book that you and Eva must have enjoyed in your class. <BR/><BR/>I must once again suggest a contender for best Canadian novels: 'Second Scroll' by A.M Klein. I love when poets write prose because it just means that is more poem to love!<BR/><BR/>take care and see you soon, my friend. <BR/><BR/>JoshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
