Congrats to her. It's a book I should read someday.<br /><br />I tried to read Magister Ludi (The Glass Bead Game) by Herman Hesse. I had enjoyed all the other books of his I'd read...but I couldn't get into it. Maybe I was too young. Maybe I need to try to read again?Bish Denhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359927719391990534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4528227961565444889.post-29400564501986348572009-06-12T12:57:15.137-07:002009-06-12T12:57:15.137-07:00Wow! good for her, I am very

I don't think they own one YA novel, but they have shelves full of the old classics.
