Anyone here read/reading The Awakening, by Kate Chopin? [View all]

A book re-popularized by John Goodman's character in Treme ( GREAT show, if you have not seen it).

I found a Kate Chopin web site, which provides information about the background and setting of the book
( really recommend browsing thru the "Southern Culture" section)
http://www.loyno.edu/~kchopin/new/culture.html

and Project Gutenburg has the e-text PLUS short stories by Chopin, free download:

Happy reading!
