This morning I downloaded Brad Meltzer's "The Book of Lies" to ease my commute. Brad's wife used to be the law partner of John's son-in-law and I started reading Brad's work with his first book.
I'm enjoying this book very much. It's another of those books that makes the miles slip under my tires without my noticing.
That made me think about how many different books and different types of books have been written throughout time and how there's someone who has read each one of these books and enjoyed it.
I downloaded a book two days ago and, try as I might, I can't get into it. I resent wasting one of my Audible credits on it.
This weekend I'm going to co-process. I'm going to start reading Walker Percy's "The Second Coming" in hardcopy for my book club. We'll see if I can keep two books straight in my mind at the same time.
What's the first book you read that had a significant effect on you or that you have an outstanding memory of? Mine was The Pink Dress. I wasn't allowed to read novels—you know, commandment number whatever says "thou shalt not steal" and lying is stealing the truth and fiction is lying, so Adventists didn't read fiction. I walked over to the Maitland Public Library and sat in the little chair at the little table and read this novel, absolutely lapped it up. (Just Googled it and found it, written by Anne Alexander, on Amazon, used, for $387.00. Think I'll skip it just now.)
