This book lasted nearly two months of bubble baths. I didn't want Herman's story to end.

Suet624 Jay Parini. I love that man. 8y
BookishTrish @Suet624 I've only read two by him - this one and The Last Station. Are there others I should read? 8y
Suet624 Benjamins Crossing was my first. He's a poet too but I haven't read those. 8y
