Giant | Edna Ferber
10 posts | 10 read | 16 to read
This sweeping tale captures the essence of Texas on a staggering scale as it chronicles the life and times of cattleman Jordan "Bick" Benedict, his naive young society wife, Leslie, and three generations of land-rich sons. A sensational story of power, love, cattle barons, and oil tycoons, Giant was the basis of the classic film starring James Dean, Elizabeth Taylor, and Rock Hudson.

1. Yes! I have several faves. And a couple of years ago, I read quite a few in a classic reading challenge.

2. I still have over two dozen on my TBR bookcase including the tagged.

Who hasn‘t played? Consider yourself tagged!

TheSpineView A number of classics on my list. One of these days! Thanks for playing! 3y
bthegood I don't see the tagged book mentioned often - it is on my TBR and part of my #BookSpinBingo - I might get to it this year 😂 (edited) 3y
wanderinglynn @bthegood I also might get to it this year 😆 3y

@elkeo caught me while I was brushing my teeth and asked for stack of my favorite color for #bookcolortag. I would never deprive her so here is a black stack for her.
