    Band on the Run

    I have not recovered from The Handmaid's Tale, and I read it decades ago when it was first published. It was so chilling.

    I've been reading Young Adult literature in my sixties. So much of it remains good. My local library has the books on a special shelf. They have the reading list from the local high schools. I grab a book that I once read in high school. I doubt if I am the only one doing it.

    These books are having an even greater impact on me than when I was younger. Part of it is that I have the time to read more carefully now. Perhaps I see broader themes. There is a craft to writing. I also have more confidence in my ability to place the books in some context. So much of what I read is poorly written that it is a pleasure to find good writing.
