The lost manuscript of The Good Earth has been found:
"The manuscript has been missing since at least 1966 and is considered priceless," the FBI said in a news release yesterday. Buck, who died in 1973 in Vermont, lamented to an author about the disappearance of the original masterwork from her Bucks County home. "The devil has it!" she said.
I remember reading it way back in high school, but I never did read any of the sequels. Anyone? Worth it?


I haven't read "The Good Earth." Yet. The title turns me off. And Pearl S. Buck is a strange name to me. I know, I shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but in this case, I need to get over the weird vibes I get from it.
Or maybe I'm just the one who's weird.
