Friend of mine and I have committed to reading this before we meet for lunch next month. Right now, a book that’s really fascinating so far: Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 13, 2022 Report Posted February 13, 2022 About to re-read this after too many years. Created by an old friend since 1973. Quote
Dmitry Posted February 17, 2022 Report Posted February 17, 2022 Wife and I just joined a book club. It's a noble exercise - a monthly meeting at the member's home, potluck, drinks, followed by the discussion. This is what was chosen by the next month's host - Kristin Hannah - The Four Winds While in possession of the library-borrowed tome of significant Amazon repute, I observed and documented an Interesting parasympathetic phenomenon. After reading the first 25 pages, this is exactly how my lower intestinal tract heralded the cessation - by emitting four giant, Texas-sized winds. Obviously I had to comply. My wife is promising to soldier through the remainder of this masterpiece of socrealism.. I'll tag along for company [read - alcohol], and hopefully will keep my mouth shut. But the winds...they may still make their way. Quote

For some reason I seem to favor war and cultural histories for my morning breakfast books. Started this one today—all too timely, unfortunately, given the fascist evil that Putin has unleashed against Ukraine: Edited March 12, 2022 by ghost of miles Quote
