This doesn't really count as This doesn't really count as a reading list item, because it's been several years since I read it. But when I was still a production slave that nobody quite knew what to do with, one of my jobs was to proofread Maggie Cassidy. It didn't take me long to read, but took me forever to proof. I kept getting drawn into the snowblind beauty of the New England scene, the trainsong, the adolescent rush. I've not read anything before or since that called to mind so vividly the thought of fresh kisses, nor the taste of young love. And it made me ache. Posted by schampeo at June 03, 2000 01:54 AM
