Good morning. Been out with technical difficulties.
Got a chance to finish "The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana" by Umberto Eco.
I was sooooooo disappointed with the ending. Leaves the reader with absolutely no closure at all. I think he just used the book to get his personal thoughts in print.
Started "My Best Friend's Girl" last night... cried twice already. Looks like it's going to be a good one.
I am almost getting ready to pack, but have just about finished the book and will return it to the library before I leave. It had been a while since I read it... at the time I read it, it made a big impression on me, obviously . Now that I am reading it again, I remember why. I can identify with so many things in the book! And I have the Road on my stack of books to read...

Thank you ontheroad
I will check in as much as I can...
Planning on leaving lots of room in my luggage for books, I'll have to hit the used book stores and flea markets with the Euro/US$ these days!

Yes, it is good to even have a second suitcase. I almost asked you to get me something in Germany....but resisted the temptation to add rather than decrease my stuff and knew it would be a burden.
We'll talk soon!

If it isn't anything bulky or heavy, I'll be happy to get it for you...

Thanks, katzenfreund, really appreciate the offer--but I'm going to resist myself and perhaps I'll get to Germany myself in the not too distant future. My daughter is talking about taking a job there.
