I love reading and I am so delighted to celebrate National Book Lovers Day!
I’m reading a couple of books right now: American Spy by Lauren Wilkinson, Fatburn Fix by Dr. Cate Shanahan, Boss of the Grips by Eric K. Washington, The Power of Charm by Brian Tracy, Plague by Kent Heckenlively and Judy Mikovitz, PHD, and The Old Man And Mr. Smith by Peter Ustinov. I loved reading: The Sociopath Next door by Martha Stout, ph.d, Lead from the Outside by Stacey Abrahms, Becoming by Michelle Obama, POP by Sam Horn and I’m Still Here: Black Dignity In A World Made For Whiteness by Austin Channing Brown. My absolute favorite was, A Gentleman In Moscow by Amor Towles. Most of my books are now on Kindle, and I can read and re-read my books any at time. I love carrying my library in my purse. Cynthia you make Wednesdays Wonderful. Thank for your brilliant innovative mind in setting our minds & hearts singing with “The In Between Things!!!!

Larry McMurtry brings his characters to life and captures the reader from the beginning. I’m a huge fan of his. Thank you for the book suggestions. I’ll follow your lead!

So many books, so little time! Does anyone know of a speed reading course I can take? I think I will look into that. I remember Evelyn Wood had courses in the past.
I am reading “Murphy’s Law,” by our friend, Cary T. Kellems and edited by another friend, Cynthia Gellis. I am enjoying the short stories.
I am also reading “A Confederacy of Dunces,” an unusual book. They tried to make it into a movie many times but the lead actor’s would pass away. Kramer of Seinfeld owned the rights for a long time, not sure if he still does.
Cynthia, I am jealous that you are able to read so many books. You continue to impress me. 🙂

I am reading “The Splendid and the Vile” by Erik Larsen. Have read most of his books. Just finished “Spillover” by David Quammen. It’s about the virus and the many more viruses that will soon be coming our way. Just finished “White Fragility” and declare it a pile of crap. Cannot believe the traction this woman has gained in this country. Loved “The Dutch House” by Ann Patchett. Will read more by her. Now reading “Springtime for Snowflakes” by a professor at NYU who was pilloried for his views on PC censorship in our institutions of higher learning. I am thinking of reading a trash novel just to give my brain a break. Something funny by Carl Haaisen might do.
