I am a book lover. My favorite types are short ones with enormous print size.
This has something to do with my deteriorating eyesight and slow acting brain. About one book per month is all I can manage. This and the daily newspaper ( The lousy Houston Chronicle ) and a few reactionary conservative periodicals is about all I can handle.
Lest I offend my liberal friends, family and other admirers, I will not mention the book that I am working on now. Next on the list is THE REASON WHY.I had read this wonderful history long ago and found our old copy hidden away. I opened it ant it promptly fell apart. Bless Barnes and Noble. They ordered a new one for me and it has just arrived. That one is next on my list.
A package arrived just a few minutes ago. A book from Granddaughter Frances.
It is an historical novel about the same Crimean war called FOLLOW MW TO GLORY.
I am thrilled. My reading needs for the rest of the year are taken care of.

There is a little essay in one of the old books Carlos brought home from his mother's house. The title is El Libro. It begins like this:
Hay un buen amigo, un excelente, un primoroso amigo a quien debemos ver con gran carino porque es todo nuestro, porque nos da su alma, porque se nos ofrece a todas horas y jamas abandona a quien le quiere: El Libro.
I would bet you end up reading more than one book a month! Mom brings home books constantly from her bookclub and my guess is you read at least some of them. Amy
I'm glad you got the book, and I am sure you will enjoy it. It came with very high recommendations from another Crimean War afficianado.

Okay, okay...I think it's high time for you to pull your nose outta that book and get to blogging!
I miss your blogs, dammit.
