Lynn Harris died today. Did you ever read any of his books? If so, maybe a review or commentary or appreciation of some sort would be in order. Congratulations to your husband, and best of luck with the Blogathon. Sad news, E. Lynn Harris died today. Did you ever read any of his books?

I'm not sure that I'll get the chance to write about either while I'm getting up a post every 30 minutes, but I will mull over both and try! :) And thanks to Jovan and Madeleine for the links.
