MORE GREAT READING

I'm trying to tie up the loose ends of my book reading.
This is a good one.
Favorites were: Seth Stevenson's "Looking for Mammon in the Muslin World"
He has a great website with copies of his articles. I've set aside a couple
of hours to browse them.
Thomas Swick "Have Book, Will Travel"
Paul Theroux "The Golden Man" especially his visit to the ancient city of Merv.
James Campbell "Chasing Ghosts"
I love books that send me to the computer to find out more.

DAY WITH A COUSIN

My cousin and her husband are spending a month in Oceanside near us this year. It's so fun to have them here. We lived close to each other while growing up and have many great stories to reminisce about. Went to the Antique Mall, a toy store, lunch and THE BOOK WORKS. This is a great book store. I worked for Sam Weller's New and Used Bookstore in Salt Lake City for 10 years and nothing beats a good INDEPENDENT book store .




Lunch first-- come'on ---we needed nourishment
