Thoughts on some random books

[rob91]

My local library had a book sale today and I picked up a bunch of stuff. The prices were so good, around .50 - 1$ per book, I pretty much just stocked up and apart from some classics I've heard of there's a few I made blind buys on, based off the title/synopsis/quick glance - yes, I did pick up a couple because they have a cool sounding title, it was that cheap. Anyways, if any of you would like to register some thoughts/comments on these I would love to hear them. Thanks.

Jim the Boy by Tony Earley
Plainsong by Kent Haruf
In the Drink by Kate Christensen
The Tide in the Attic by Aleid Van Rhijn
Super Flat Times by Matthew Derby
House Made of Dawn by N. Scott Momaday
Girl Walking Backwards by Bett Williams
The Lake Dreams the Sky by Swain Wolfe
