I've decided to read some of the old classics. We picked up quite a few at a recent "Buck a Bag" used book sale at our library. All the books you can fit in a bag for $1. It's an easy way to accumulate way too many books

I just finished "Journey to the Center of the Earth". It was easy reading but not much resemblance to the movie (old version starring Pat Boone).

I was reading "Huckleberry Finn", until the DH grabbed it off the nightstand. I think I will read "Wind in the Willows" next. Every time we go out in our kayaks, I think of how Toad loves "messing around in boats".

We are taking the RV for a Fall outing next weekend. Don't know if we'll do much reading as the weather forecast looks fantastic! Plan to hike, bike and paddle at Eel Lake just a short drive up the coast of Oregon from our part of the world. But, then, I could see myself floating out on the lake, reading about Mr. Toad.

Books

Ray - Tell Susan that the newest of the Clifton Chronicles books is being published in the UK. I got my copy of Best Kept Secret from a Brit friend several months before it was available here.

Another good author is Bryce Courtenay. He was Australian/South African. A lot of interesting history in his books. Sorry to say, though that they are quite difficult to come by here in the States. Power of One was the only one published here, although you can find some at used bookstores. Here again, I have a friend from out of the country (Canada this time) who finds them used up there and gets them to me.

DH reads just about any war story or western, and I like mysteries and historical fiction.

Headed out to the other side of Oregon from you on Friday. Wine tasting in E WA and checking out the Pendleton area. Great little RV park right on the river in Boardman.

Book reading

Where we host in Texas, at the Rec center, we have book books and more books. Plus DVDs and VCR tapes by the box. Every one that comes in trades and leaves usually more than they take. Because there is no English Language TV there we do read alot, Which is a lot better on your brain any way. I enjoy just about any thing, fiction or non and a heck of a lot of mystery .
One thing about those ebooks.........NO ONE SHARES
Well My 2p
Cheers

Thanks. Can't wait for the next installment of the Clifton Chronicles

We just returned from a quick trip to Eel Lake/Tugman state park, about an hour from home. Read most of "Travels with My Aunt" by Graham Greene, as our kayak excursion was cut short by rain
