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! :)
"Big Two-Hearted River"...a Hemingway short story.

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 ...

:O)))
Oh well. Thanks for the good intentions, in any event!![image error]

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 ...
Themis-Athena wrote: "I'll undo it -- oh man, someone has REALLY messed up the Shokolov books! Thanks for bringing this up ..."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?)

And I've also added "The Don..."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.
"Leaves of Grass" @60? Did that once have a river on it?
Lobstergirl wrote: "Looks like the cover of Tom Sawyer (#6) got changed - no river on it."Yes -- I'm going to leave it for the time being at least, since the cover we all originally voted for had th Mississippi on it (and who knows these days, maybe the default cover is going to get changed to something with a river on it yet again). And at least the Mississippi is prominent feature/quasi-character in the book itself.
But thanks for pointing out the others; removed them all!
And thanks for all the likes on this list ...
Re: message 2, about Ohio being both a state and a river. This seems like a slippery slope to me, since that is also true for Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Tennessee, Colorado, and I think maybe Connecticut, too. In Winesburg, Ohio, it's obviously being used as the state name.
