literary update

Recall from the first post my four books that I brought. I made short work of Monte Cristo, which treated me better than the artery-stopper we think of now. After that was Under The Tuscan Sun, which convinced me I do not need to purchase a place in Italy and restore it. Last night, I finished The Sun Also Rises. While I appreciate the writing style of Hemingway, it is hard to get past how much drinking his characters engage in, without any water intake.

In between cleaning chores on Sunday, I found myself reading a Sherlock Holmes story on the Gutenberg project site, http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

I first downloaded the e-file in MP3 format to have the story play while I was cleaning. THe voice was right out of War Games, the 1983 classic starring Matthew Broderick. I was constantly awaiting the "Do you want to play a game" line, soI gave up on it. I simply read the story on my screen.

My last book for reading is The Cossacks, a book that I was never able to finish in 1997 when I purchased it.

I had considered bringing A Room With A View to read, because it IS the 100 year anniversary of the novel and I glean something new from it each time I read it. Perhaps I shall commend it to you, the reader, to search out and read it yourself. You seem to have enough leisure, evidenced by the amount of time you have spent getting this far into a rather dry posting.
