Bird's cure for depression was to plunge into deepest Japan, ford rivers, meet primitive people and tell about it all in a manner so vivid I felt I was `watching' a documentary.PatKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14340484003660647950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8027299943447728658.post-68987627090601170822015-12-13T06:03:43.391-05:002015-12-13T06:03:43.391-05:00I have read Agatha Christie's "The Grand ...I have read Agatha Christie's "The Grand Tour".

Your sign-up post says that all books for this challenge have to been published at least 50 years ago, "The only exception is books that were published posthumously but written at least 50 years ago." In that light I chose Laura Ingalls Wilder's autobiography, Pioneer Girl. It was just published last year, but it was written before her Little House books. But I got to thinking that even though it was known that she wrote it, and was probably available in museums or collections, I don't know if it would really count as a classic for this challenge since it has only come available to the public so recently, so I wanted to ask about it. I'm still planning on reading it, just not sure whether I can claim it for the Nonfiction Classic category.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
