Writer's Block: Forbidden Reading
Oct. 19th, 2008 09:42 am[Error: unknown template qotd]
In 1965 I was sixteen years old and in the hospital for a minor surgical procedure. A friend brought me some magazines and a couple of novels to read. One of the novels was Peyton Place. My mother almost had a stroke when she saw it and promptly told me it was totally unacceptable. I promised to give it back to Delores the next day but I stayed awake most of the night reading it first. I have no idea why Mama didn't just take the book; that's what I would have done. ;)
