Reading

    My 'reading switch' flips on and off. Recently it's been on which Facebook Friends will perhaps recognize. Joanne read little during her working years and then she retired. Suddenly she was reading 3 or 4 books a week. Her 'reading switch' flipped on. She wasn't very patient, if a book didn't engage her in the first chapter, she moved on. Perhaps that was particularly wise give her untimely death.
   Here are some of the books I've read recently and would recommend:
Flames of Discontent: the 1918 Iron Ore Strike, Gary Kaunonen
A Surgeon With Stillwell; Dr. John H. Grindley and Combat Medicine in the China-Burma-India       Theater of World War II, Alan K Lathrop
Blindness, Jose' Saramago (Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature 1998)
My Life With Bob; Flawed Heroine Keeps a Book of Books, Plot Ensues, Pamela Paul
Once Upon A Town; The Miracle of the North Platte Canteen, Bob Greene
Little Fires Everywhere, Celeste Ng
Martin Marten, Brian Doyle
A Woman of no Importance; The Untold Story of the American Spy who Helped Win World War II, Sonia Purnell
The Perfect Horse; The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by the Nazis, Elizabeth Letts.

   Participating in two book clubs does help to keep me reading. Likely the 'reading switch' will flip off again one of these days. Time, opportunity and eyesight are great gifts.

Takk for alt,
