Why Winesburg, Ohio? I don't see a river on the cover.

No, but Ohio is both the name of a state and that of a river.

Someone found copies of Twain with the river on the covers; thank you. Mine both have other pictures.

You're welcome! :)

Ah.

Musical Interlude anyone?

"Big Two-Hearted River"...a Hemingway short story.

I tried to add Sokolov's other book--The Don Flows Home to the Sea, but it wouldn't come up.

There's Last Night in Twisted River by John Irving. Haven't read it, myself.

That's because it's merged with "Quiet Flows the Don." Are they the same book, or different? If they're different then the merging should be undone.

I'll undo it -- oh man, someone has REALLY messed up the Shokolov books! Thanks for bringing this up ...

Drat. Whatever it is, it's a Sony release and therefore blocked online for us poor souls living in Germany! (It wouldn't have been CCR's "Rollin' down the River," would it??)

Thanks for the extra special thought! Alas ... :( (I think YouTube has an agreement with Sony to block any and all clips with Sony content when clicked on from somewhere in Germany. Too bad! Oh well ...) So I'm just going to have to imagine hearing it! :)

That's blocked too? Rats!! Usually these things are blocked in Italy... very strange.

And they say the internet is the land of unlimited possibilities ...

Tell me about it. I thought there were FIVE (5) books in Shokolov's epic. BTW, I held text for a blind proofreader of The Don Flows Home to the Sea and looked forward to reading it straight...if I can find it.

We'll, I've at least separated out the "Don Flows Home to the Sea" volumes and those specifying that they're only a partial edition ("vol. 3 of 5" or some such thing). And I've also added "The Don Flows Home to the Sea" to this list ...

Holding text for a blind proofreader -- sounds interesting! Was this in Braille then? (How exactly does this work anyway?)

My boss, Sandy Brezhinsky, blind since childhood (glaucoma), would have a stack of Braille to work from big as 6 telephone books, I would have the book. She would work through the Braille reading out loud while I looked for any variance in the book. After a while we would switch. She could read Braille as fast as I could read the print aloud. We worked in her kitchen. She had cats who would jump up on the table often. She would know which cat had come by the slight variation in the table vibrations. All in all, a great experience for me.

Looks like the cover of Tom Sawyer (#6) got changed - no river on it.
