Loved that book. Interesting backstory.

And another I would have sworn had died years ago. I remember reading the book when I was in high school, before the movie came out.

Do I have to look up the author or read the book to understand why they would not get an RIP?silverscreenselect wrote:Another person not worth of an RIP.zachhoran1 wrote:nytimes.com reports the Up the Down Staircase author died at age 103.

I think SSS was commenting on (and Esto was replying to) zach's habit of never including a RIP in his death notice posts.christie1111 wrote:Do I have to look up the author or read the book to understand why they would not get an RIP?

A group of us from grade school have gotten into the habit of having a FB chat session every three or four months.
The last time we got together, we talked about what books we would revisit. Books we liked and hadn't read for ages. A couple of them said A Tree Grows in Brooklyn -- which as many of you might remember, is a book that Fanny, Catfish and I revisit on a regular basis.
Mine was Up the Down Staircase.
