I've been a little distracted from reading, but I did finish #76: Snow Falling on Cedars for book club and loved it. All of the praise it has received so far echos how I felt about it. >17 - Bridget770 - I loved Snow also. It is time for a re-read of that one. Slow food, slow reading, slow breathing, slow hand ... many, many, good things in life are slow.

Of course, after reading this thread, I now am almost compelled to go to the TBR shelves and hunt for Snow Falling on Cedars after the glowing reviews here but I think that will have to wait. I still have an ER book to read next. I loved Snow Falling on Cedars. It felt like a cross between a better version of The Shipping News (which I did not like) and To Kill a Mockingbird. Guterson expertly conveys the spirit of all the characters, relationships, events, etc. That explanation is the best way I can describe it. T ... ... so I wondered if that's the one you mean.

I have read 2 of his previous novels and loved them both: Snow Falling on Cedars and East of the Mountains but Our Lady of the Forest by Guterson just isn't doing it for me.
Ah well, such is the life of a reader.
catch ... Oh, yes! The book that seeks to manipulate your emotions (Those Who Save Us, and Snow Falling on Cedars (oh, the poignant upside-down stamp!)).

Some nutter on an exam board over here in England thought we'd all love Snow Falling On Cedars. It was awful, awful, awful!
