Ray Bradbury's Twice 22. published in 1966 This is a combination of The Golden Apples of the Sun and A Medicine for Melancholy in a single volume. The title comes from the fact that each of these books contains 22 short stories.
The biography of WFB Sr. A fascinating history to say the least. His involvement in Mexico during the early 20th Century through WWI is enlightening. I never knew what a pompous ass Woodrow Wilson was. I believe it's a must read for students of that period of time. Particularly those with an interest in oil development and how it impacted State Department decisions during the war.
Took a brief break from Japanese murder mystery the other day to reread the Beatrix Potter stories.
...I'm gonna put some lavender in this year's homegrown baccy. Just a smidgen, maybe 1%. If it's good enough for those stylish rabbits, it's good enough for me.
If I may, allow me to recommend Albert Bigelow Paine's The Adventures of Mark Twain or his Mark Twain: A Biography. As Mr. Paine was personally acquainted with Mr. Twain, I believe these to be standards against which other biographies of him should be measured.
Looking forward to reading this great story. A recommendation from our fellow forum member Carol. Thank you, dear friend Carol. “Two years before the mast” Richard Henry Dana Jr.
i just finished Haruki Murakami's Strange Library, and it seems like it would/should be a great story, but I just got so bored with it. I am usually in love with his works, but this one just didn't do anything for me.
