Always a great read, Marg. I’m with you on not needing to read the latest, most talked about book. In fact I sometime like to go back to old classics, even children’s books—anything to escape the present moment. I also laugh about how often “trump” shows up as a verb or adjective (trumped-up charge). I try to avoid using it whenever possible. Love your salad and cake combo—perfect!
Just wondering if you’ve picked the next book yet. Maybe an old classic?
Another great summary of a reading life. I was very interested in The Correspondent until 400 days in prison. I just cannot do prison scenes, stories anymore. Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, and his prison stay cured me of any further prison stories. Great book, but no thanks. Love your eating habits. Thank you Margaret.
