It is all just too much. However, I do love to listen to the author interviews, things like that. <br />It's deeply troubling, this political business.

They changed too many things. The actors are too flash and too young for the characters in the book. Not one bit like them.

(We try to avoid the tourists spots in February, the busiest month. <br /><br />But more than that, this sounds like a great read --- it is so hard to find books about people even over 50, let alone a year or two older than we are even!

Nan, you give us the best books to "check out" -pun intended ;-)<br />Just finished reading "Kingbird Highway" by Kenn Kaufmann and am now enjoying "Grandma Gatewood's Walk" - she was the first woman to do a thru-walk on the Appalacian Trail - at 67!<br />Next up is Diane Rehm's "On My Own." Seem to be reading a lot of non-fiction this late winter. Finished the biog.of Clementine Churchhill - very good!
