I'm reading Gail Caldwell's coming of age memoir "A Strong West Wind", which reflects on the question "how do we become who we are?". The answer in part, Caldwell believes, is tied to literature. Me too. I have a hankering for spunky female characters, you know, the ones you think about on a long drive, like Taylor Greer, Reta Winters, Lucille Odom, Stargirl Caraway, or my latest favorite, Roxie Warbler. My all time best reading experience? Finishing up Wallace Stegner's Angle of Repose on top of a houseboat in Lake Powell. And any book read under the covers.
