I would probably have read My Antonia, had I not read this review first -- but now I think I will try O Pioneers. I wonder if I can find it free for my iPad.terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095349422849979251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-1962419330490661182011-08-18T15:20:12.362-05:002011-08-18T15:20:12.362-05:00This is definitely one of my all time favorites!

Last time I was driving through Nebraska, I wanted to stop at the Willa Cather museum in Red Cloud, but it was too late in the day and it was already closed. Hopefully I can make it up there again someday!

I love O Pioneers! even more than My Antonia. Have also enjoyed some of Cather's stories. Now I seem to be acquiring quite a few of her novels... must make time to read them!JoAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13691864361197071517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-75770941764243075252011-08-17T14:44:35.090-05:002011-08-17T14:44:35.090-05:00I've been meaning to read her other book My An...I've been meaning to read her other book My Antonia.

I'm so glad everyone in your group enjoyed it. Cather's writing is breathtaking, her descriptions are amazing! It's so sad O'Pioneers is banned in places...I'm sure some onject to some of her themes but as you pointed out, her lifestyle probably disturbs some close-minded, not enlightened folks.<br /><br />I hope you enjoy My Antonia more the second time you read it. It really is a wonderful book.Amyhttp://homeofaimala.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7605456781483914021.post-86554238736684150512011-08-17T10:03:54.189-05:002011-08-17T10:03:54.189-05:00I have never read Cather, but always wanted to, an...I have never read Cather, but always wanted to, and this books sounds like just the place to start with her. I like the synopsis of this one, and the fact that you mention that the writing was stellar also has me excited. I need to see where I can get my hands on a copy of this. Preferably for my Kindle. This was such a great review, and I am glad that your book group loved it!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.com
