I love the luxury of taking my time in the morning and having more leisure with my newspapers, magazines and books. I have three grown children and two grandchildren so I stay busy traveling to read to them. About my libraryWay too many books - too little time to read them! But, I just keep adding interesting titles and hope that one day..... GroupsWhat Are You Reading Now?

Yes, I add kids' books that left an impression on me as I think of them I have such a distinct memory of All of a Kind Family. I was in 4th grade, had chicken pox, and actually stayed up all night, for the first time in my life, reading it. A perfect and memorable distraction from all the itching!!
I am very envious of you there in No Carolina, in April. I went to college at Duke and have friends in the Triangle, and let me tell you, there is nothing like Spring in North Carolina. Here in Maine it's still brown and budless (picture an Andrew Wyeth field). Haven't even had a crocus yet, though it won't be too long.
Thanks for admiring our dog, Mahjong. She is a mature lady and a real sweetheart.
Cheers,
Jana

Have you read Patrick Hamilton's work in the past? If not, I would suggest reading Slaves of Solitude before reading Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky. It is a better novel, not as dark as his other books. Here is a website for the film version of Twenty - http://www.bbc.co.uk/drama/twentythousand/ - Let me know what you think about the book.
