I actually re-read it every year because I always find something new in Holden's story, and something new about myself.<br /><br />The House on Mango Street sounds really good. I love day-in-the-life type of vignettes, and it sounds like Ms. Cisneros really put a lot of honest rawness in her book.<br /><br /><br />Smiles!<br />LoriLoriStronginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10764202539292045963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-8355191699145984622012-01-06T19:29:34.813-06:002012-01-06T19:29:34.813-06:00Oh I think I'm most curious about the House on...Oh I think I'm most curious about the House on Mango Street.

Y...Wow, you've been on a roll lately Rummanah! You're a mini review machine:) I actually have never read A Catcher in the Rye. Fail. For some reason, that wasn't on my reading list in school, though I think I would have gladly traded it for Moby Dick. Moby Dick and I do not get along:) Even though you didn't care for all the stories in this one, it's nice that he consistently writes relatable characters who help us see ourselves more clearly.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1211090800803751472.post-48834267702017817862012-01-06T10:16:20.723-06:002012-01-06T10:16:20.723-06:00I never cared for A Cather in the Rye, so I don...I never cared for A Cather in the Rye, so I don't I'd pick up Nine Stories, but House on Mango Street - that was a big one when I was getting my Master's.
