Suggestions…

I have been engaging in so many book

discussions with random strangers.

I have managed to interrupt, desk people,

car readers, and restaurant readers.

All within the last month. And people are

inclined to tell you about the book they are

reading. It seems as if winter does that for

readers. It provides them with guilt free time

to read. I have read and listened to more books

in this first few months of the year than any

other year. Today the desk lady was reading

Magic Hour by Kristin Hannah. She said

she finished The Women, also by Kristin Hannah

less than a week ago. She said the Large Print

books are more readily available. She jotted

down the few books that I mentioned to her

that I was reading or had recently read.

I do enjoy meeting a fellow reader.

Twice the book, Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, has

been recommended to me. I put it on my book list.

Now aside from my book club book, I am on page

192 of James Clavell’s Shogun. I have a long way to go.

So be it. But I am looking forward to the book club’s

discussion on The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.

I thought it was an excellent read.

Total Outside Hours to date: ~47

p.s. when I mentioned to one of my older

sisters that I was reading Shogun, she suggested

watching the movie instead! She might be right I

have over 1000 pages left.
