I'm curious: What's the difference between naturalism and realism?

So if we're not careful, we could end up with a Twilight month? :yikes:

I've gone for Magical Realism, Existentialism, Postmodernism and Beat. It'll be interesting to see what we get.

ooh, multiple choice-- what a lucky break! Even so, I narrowed it down to two categories, postmodernism and magic realism. (There is overlapping between the two categories.

Now, I only hope that when the specific novels are announced in the upcoming months, "my" library has copies.

I didn't expect Magic Realism to prove so popular!

And Calidore, it seems like we will be reading an airport bestseller, after all! :p
