Series Love
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Family on Wednesday, February 01, 2012
Do you ever get asked what your favorite book is?
For me, that’s a hard question. Pick a favorite? Out of the many, many wonderful stories that have been written and published? ONE favorite book?

Are there any Walker Percy fans in this audience?
I haven’t read him in a while, but was an absolute addict in my college and grad school days.
Here’s a trailer for an upcoming documentary on his life.
If you are a fan, what are your favorites?
I don’t actually understand the appeal of The Moviegoer,
