Let's share book ideas!

I'm currently reading Huckleberry Finn. Haven't read it since I was a kid and, no surprise, it's a lot more complex than I remembered :). And a good traveling book!

Also highly recommended, from my just-finished pile, Motoring with Mohammed. It's nothing about war -- it's a travelogue from the 80s, about Yemen. Beautifully written.

May Sarton's "A Journal of A Solitude". My aging husband fell in the shower, broke his back & has been admitted to long-term care. I haven't picked up a book in a month but this seemed like an appropriate title? I'm not sure Ms. Sarton and I play for the same team but what does that matter? I should think the shock of sudden solitude is a universal condition?

Update: I abandoned this book at page 112. Maybe I'm still too distracted to read?

scandalous behavior Stewart Woods,a terrible book with little plot and no real mystery. Pathetic for Woods.

And yet, I'll make myself finish said books. I cannot abandon them, for some reason? Maybe I have a touch of OCD?

Only two books in life I've never finished: "Pilgrim's Progress" and "Beowulf". I'll try the "B" book again someday..........maybe.

Just finished re-re-reading Tolstoy's "War and Peace". Once every 15 years it seems like the thing to do.
Still entrances the mind.
