In light of Arthur Miller's death, I suggest we all read The Crucible

Rest in peace, Arthur

2. Is this the witch hunt one?

3. yes

the witch hunt

a very haunting book

4. Yes, set in 1620 Salem, but reflecting the McCarthy witch-hunts

of the 50's when it was first produced. Of course, the Repuke party held both houses of Congress of that time also.

7. It was such a waste on me in high school. (many books/plays)

I think back to what we read and what I thought of it all then, and compare it to how I feel about it now and am embarrassed about how I was...

[joeybee12]

8. It's called growing up!

Thank God you did it! Not everyone does!

There's lots of stuff I thought was great that I don't now, and vice-versa!

9. I suggest we read a lesser known work of his: Focus
