"The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day off." ~Abe Lemons
**We are a school librarian and a federal accountant enjoying retirement--with all its days off. This blog allows us to keep our family and friends updated on some of our thoughts and activities from the mundane to the profound with a few interesting tidbits added for fun. We try to stay imaginative and adventuresome in our every day lives.
I will want to read the sequel to Eat, Pray, Love to see how she is doing now that she is married again. Of all the March reads I liked the Bastard of Istanbul the best. And I found the autographed copy of Senator Webb's novel at a local garage sale. I liked it because it was about Douglas MacArthur, the WWII war hero who was both famous and infamous. Caanan combines the post Civil War in Viginia with the destruction of the Indian tribes of the West and Custer's last stand. The book tried to cover too much history in different areas of the U.S. with too many characters. Of all the characters my favorite was the Indian woman who married a former black slave from Virginia. I don't really recommend this book. Too complex. He should have written several books about these historic events and developed the characters more in my opinion.
I read Eat, Pray, Love. I liked it pretty well, I'll have to try a couple of the other ones you have listed here.
