I'm not exactly sure how drawing Muriel Spark's The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is, for luck. If it was Douglas Adams I would have been thrilled, and if I had gotten a book that was too heavy for a first-read I could always have used one of my Pass-Cards.(reluctantly)I must admit I am a little afraid of In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, as it is seven volumes long. Akk! Makes me wish I could faint. (with overly dramatic gestures)
I'm unsure how Muriel Spark and I will get along, either. The description on the List makes me wary. It goes like this:
A meddling teacher is betrayed by a favorite pupil who becomes a nun.
A nun? Oh boy. This does not bode well. I hope this isn't one of those books with heavy handed moral craziness. We shall see Muriel, we shall see.
The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie is actually supposed to be a great comedy novel. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
