I cannot wait to read this summer!

Are you working on the same 50 from earlier in the year, or are you onto a new 50 book challenge?

Same one from last year. I'm up to 44 or 45 read so far. I'll have to see where the last four put me.

I haven't completed any books yet, but I have a half dozen that I'm reading simultaneously. What fun!

I have finished off a couple of more books, but now I will be able to do a lot more reading with work being over for the summer.

I agree, I can get used to having summers off!

I have another novel for you! We leave for MN on Tuesday, so let's try to meet up for a bit before we leave so I can get it to you.

How about tomorrow sometime? I was going to take the kids to the library at Cheyenne and Buffalo, we could meet there.

Call me and let's see. It all depends on when the kids decide to get ready. It will probably have to be in the afternoon, after naps.

You're setting a great example for your daughter, Vegas Guy. Good on you.

I've got a pile of books I'm trying to get to. thanks for the inspiration!
having just become a real mystery buff (I believe it's because I'm so steeped in politics with the way things are going, and the blog, etc., that I NEED ESCAPE now!), I am in mourning for having finished our last of about 15 Richard Jury MARTHA GRIMES mystery. I miss Richard!

May I suggest a few good books from here in the brown desert of Saudi Arabia?

Histories: "An Army At Dawn" and "The Day of Battle" both By Rick Atkinson are extraordinarily readable and interesting. The first chronicles the US' opening move in WWII, the invasion of North Africa, and the second is about our invasion of Sicily and Italy.

For novels, I doubt you can do any better than "Memoir From Antproof Case" and "A Soldier of the Great War" by Mark Helprin. Both are beautiful stories that contain some of the saddest and funniest things you've ever read.

And for bleak reading, nothing comes close to Cormac McCarthy.

Thanks Steven, I will look for those titles. Right now I'm reading Sea of Thunder.
