    Jeff,

    This is wonderful, I love books all kinds of subjects and by all authors and this is total book glutony. Thank you for sharing.

    Is Seducing the Demon by Erica Jong along the same lines as her book entitled ‘Witches’? Witches is one of my favorites in my library!

    Shalom Christine,

    First, thank you for stopping in, for reading and, most importantly, for taking the time to leave a comment. It’s all about the conversation.

    Seducing The Demon is an autobiographical book that focuses on Jong’s writing life. I haven’t read Witches, so I have nothing to compare it to.

    B’shalom,

    Jeff

    Shalom Moos,

    I’d be lost without libraries.

    B’shalom,

    Have you read Zenna Henderson?

    My mom was a science fiction fan in the 50s – when she’d have to send her brother into the “adult” store to get her books, because they weren’t SOLD to girls… she read the Stories of the People in magazines, and had an old paperback collection. When I discovered Internet shopping, i looked for other books, and found Ingathering. I’ve successfully given it as gifts, twice.

    My mom is aging, and I’m hoping to find the others in large print so she can see them. If not, i’ll see if she can stomach my voice long enough to have me read them to her, the way she read to me.

    One of my fondest memories is a snapshot of my little brother at the table, waiting for breakfast. He must have been pre-teen. Sun shining on him as he read I Robot for the first time. (Stepford Wives made NO sense to me; didn’t levin know ANYTHING about the Laws of Robotics?)

    Shalom Rebekah,

    I first read Zenna Henderson in Fantasy & Science Fiction when I was a teenager.

    B’shalom,
