This was a crying book for sure. Somehow, now that I am a Mom reading about how Henry's wife and children were taken from him unexpectedly was so heart breaking. He really had nothing left and so mailing himself to freedom seemed very logical to me. What else did he have to loose. We forget how inhumane we have been to one another don't we. It was a good read. <br /><br />Also returned to the library (with a large fine)...The Composer is Dead. The version I got had a audio recording, of the book (by Lemony himself!) and included a musical score written to illustrate the various instrament's allibies. It was fun. I especially loved the trumpet's song and the tuba/harp duet. Just got a hold of Half Broke Horses and Tinkers. Even if I don't comment on time your book club is inspiring me to read. Sallee you know that IS something.Brian and Nellenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06358559277470819221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373039528924145838.post-42924556497301301332011-03-08T10:13:37.801-08:002011-03-08T10:13:37.801-08:00I know this ruins many books and movies for me tha...I know this ruins many books and movies for me that are of the memoir style, but I can't help wiki-ing real life people after viewing their stories in books or movies. You'll find Henry Brown VERY interesting, and a bit disappointing.Mishqueenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16857513494635964672noreply@blogger.com
