ReplyDeleteThank you Alexis, happy reading to you as well!
DeleteA bumper FOUR for me this week:
ReplyDeleteFiction:
A Place Called Armageddon - Constantinople 1453 by C C Humphreys
Non-Fiction:
Martin Luther King by Godfrey Hodgson
Frost/Nixon by David Frost
The Brothers - John Foster Dulles, Allen Dulles, and Their Secret World War by Stephen Kinzer
Not too bad! Big surprise, I am interested in the Dulles book. Not sure if I could sit through Frost/Nixon. Maybe.
DeleteI *am* surprised about your interest in the Dulles brothers.
DeleteI am mainly interested right now because of the CIA aspect of Allen Dulles' life and wanting to know more about him. Not sure of John Foster Dulles because I know nothing about him at all.
DeleteI read Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil several years ago and remember it with pleasure. I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dorothy, I hope so too!
DeleteI was the picture of restraint on new books coming in last week. A good thing as I took in 12 books over the past two weeks.
ReplyDeleteIt took me months to read The Second Sex but it changed me in ways I am still discovering. Here is my review: https://keepthewisdom.blogspot.com/2010/06/second-sex.html
I enjoyed your review and it helped me quite a bit in deciding if I am going to read The Second Sex at this time. As soon as I started it, I knew it would take me a good long while to finish it, so I returned it and am contemplating buying my own copy. There's nothing more annoying than having to return a book when you're not done, because someone else is waiting on it, and getting back in line ot get it again. I went through that for a while with Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich for a while before I finally just bought my own copy.
