I've been reading a snippet of this and a bit of that, some in hard copy, others on my kindle but nothing has really captured my interest and I'm feeling rather adrift without a single book to focus on. I haven't given up on any of the half dozen that I've started and do read a few pages each day but it's not very satisfying.
I think that part of it may be Ol' Man Winters' lingering presence that has me feeling restless but stuck in the doldrums at the same time.
Come Monday I will be very busy with several additional hours humane society work every day and that may keep me so occupied that I won't have the time or energy to get lost in a good book.
I finished Davies' "The Rebel Angels" this afternoon. I liked it, but I didn't enjoy it as much as his other works that I've read. Still, I plan to continue with "What's Bred in the Bone" when I have a chance to download it.
I am 14% into Morrison's "Paradise," and it certainly has taken some twists. I was a bit put off by the opening, but it's taken such weird course that now I want to find out how many more twists lead to where?
From time to time I read the kindle books of Jerry D. Young. Most of his books are 99¢ each. He writes of families who are preppers and how they survive TEOTWAWKI. The End of the World As We Know It. I really enjoy the fiction stories because they all end well. Plus, Jerry D. Young is quite a character who knows a lot about prepping. The stories are usually around 100 pages so they don't require a lot of time. I just tuck them in between the books by other authors that I want to read.
"Dewey" The library cat by Vicki Myron with Bret Witter. If you are a cat lover you should not miss this one. It is the true story of Dewey Readmore Books, and how he spent 19 years as the beloved cat of the Spencer, Iowa Library. This came out in 2008. I just finished it last night. This was one VERY special animal.
Newdaawn, I have "Dewey" and have been meaning to read it! I just finished "The Aviator's Wife" by Melanie Benjamin. She is a very good writer and easy to read. However, reading about the kind of husband Charles Lindbergh was kind of depressed me.
