... I can't help comparing him with a hypothetical Jack Kerouac, who has matured enough to write much better, but has not grown up enough to write about adult themes. It is enjoyable writing, but I want to excuse myself and leave the party.
I absolutely love reading your reactions to books. You should write professionally. You would probably irritate a few people, but I think the majority would be thrilled by your frank appraisals.

Update: DH just finished it and thought it every bit as entertaining as I did. I wanted to visit these people.
I'm reading "The agony and the ecstasy" by Irving Stone. It's the fictionalized version of the life of Michelangelo. I'm really enjoying it. It's an easy read and extremely well researched.
Im now reading the year the colored sisters came to town and I hope this is also a good one . after that I will be reading cotton song . I hope cotton song is good as well .
I recently read "The Chaperone" by Laura Moriarty and it was a real page turner with lots of surprises - I highly recommend this book. It is about a young Louise Brooks being chaperoned on her first trip to NYC before fame hits. The book focuses more on Cora Carlisle, her chaperone, and her attempts to find her biological family in NYC. Cora is really strait-laced in the beginning but she will surprise everyone at the end.

I learned about this book on this forum and really enjoyed it too!

I love historical fiction! I don't the book with me right now but I'm reading a fictional story of Leonardo Da Vinci and I'm loving it. It's not exceptionally well written, but I'm not letting that stand in my way.
I got it as a free download on Amazon, and the new Assassin's Creed which hubby and son are obsessed with take part in Italy with the Medici's and Borgia. It's a time period I started watching and reading about after the Borgia came out on Netflix and Showtime.
The family that nerd's together, stays together.

I finished A Street Cat Named Bob and How He Saved My Life by James Bowen yesterday.
Oh my, what a delight this book is. True story about a fellow in London. He was doing his best to get off drugs and was busking (I learned the meaning of that word in the book) as a singer on the streets. He meets Bob the street cat. James's life turns around over the next 2 years. Bob is his constant companion. Bob becomes a celebrity of sorts with folks taking his picture, bringing him gifts on the street, etc.
Yeah, it sounds kind of hokey but it's true. The book is well written. It feels very much like having a chat with James. There are ups and downs but the ups are much more often than the downs. I ended the book feeling "up" myself. If you are in the mood for some light reading that is also feel-good then this book is worth the time spent.
