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.
One for the Morning Glory by John Barnes
Usually my science fiction is of the outer space variety, but this is a good tread.

About 1/2 way thru Dark Tower Book 1 The Gunslinger.
Finished Gunslinger now on to "Drawing of the Three"
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.
Ah, yes, Beatrix Potter. This is my favorite:
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.

Another Day by Wendell Berry, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running by Haruki Murakami.
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.
Taking a break from In Search of Lost Time with this one
I’m very impressed. I never got past Swann’s Way.
I read them decades ago. Now I'm revisiting them. For me the real desert in the series, then and now, is the third Volume, The Guermantes Way. it has great moments, but, shew, it was difficult to get through. Things are picking up again, slowly, with this one.
This was incredible. What a great novel.
