Of all the choices in impecunity open to me; my daughter's car, house, fridge and grog cabinet, plus the lawn to sow out back when weather and inspiration co-operate, my default option had me hooked on my latest Leys Institute library acquisitions and reclining in both of my two home locations and reading. Not to say there were not interludes - a brief Friday night Gypsy Tearooms reunion and again on Sunday night then alone except for a new delightful brief encounter (Sally, Birmingham) and, of course mitigating appetite as hunger struck amidst all this on Saturday night and again this morning. Daughter Michelle called in on Skype from Valencia with worthy recommendations for strolling and chancing, say, to join a crew at Westhaven and go sailing yet the other one won through(yes, you!.
Here's the list:
Europe Central by William T. Vollmann (2005)
The Lost Art of Keeping Secrets by Eva Rice (Tim's daughter)(2006)
Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl (2006)
and to revisit To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee 1960 (repub 2000)
Note the preponerance of female authors and their works all great reads yet the latter as recognised in a "class of it's own".
