I just finished 3 ancient books about a US woman married to a Russian, before and after the revolution, and two books on Paris. At the Antique Market in Atlanta I bought 5 volumes by John Steinbeck and am starting The Grapes of Wrath. On my Kindle I got Red Badge of Courage free, so am reading that. And last week was the Cobb County Library Book Sale – found some good ones unfortunately…like Delta Wedding by Eudora Welty. At the same time I am reading short stories from women writers during WW2 and 3 other books. I like to read from some of them at night – if I can watch Downton Abbey for 8 weeks, and only once a week, I don’t see how I should read the same book nonstop – it also keeps my memory more alive, and it’s fun to go from the dust bowl of Oklahoma, to a soldier in the Civil War to a walker in Paris then to Hercule Poirot, and all in the same evening.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-764237570467034909.post-67206740476549137242014-03-14T14:10:14.409-04:002014-03-14T14:10:14.409-04:00The old saying is far too true.

A good read.
