Dazzling Confrères!

You have recommended some of the best books I’ve ever read in my life! I am full of affection for you and gratitude for your suggestions. Now, as many Conflabbions are heading home for Thanksgiving, I’d love to discover how and where your taste in literature was formed!

1. What books were in your parents house when you were growing up?

2. What books were in your childhood room?

3. Did your parents read you bedtime stories?

4. How do you arrange, organize and display books in your own home now?

P.S.

On the off chance you might be spending Thanksgiving with family who may include Trumpers….old E. Jean has a nice little gift suggestion:

If you want to tease them, just give them a hearty year’s subscription to Ask E. Jean. They will open it up and see. . . .
