- Past love: Reread a book you loved when you were younger.
- Primary reading: Read a book with a number or color in the title.
Having reread Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath this year, I had a clear memory of Steinbeck's power to tell a story both in action and in feeling. And then I read The Red Pony. Wow. Can I say that I think Red Pony may be an even better book than Grapes? Hard to believe, I know, but true, I think. A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.
