Book Club - September

 


I'm a good way through this now, so I'll have to find another big book for our vacation travel.

It's been awhile since I've read Grisham and I forgot how easy he makes it, with all the legal mumbo jumbo.  The main character is a likeable lawyer, mostly because he hates lawyers.

I did not see the movie that was made of this one.


I recently became aware of the Digital Public Library of America.

The Brooklyn Public Library launched an initiative called Books UnBanned, making digital access available to anyone 13-21 years of age by providing a free eCard.

And since it's Burning Man week, here's a throwback to the Black Rock Public Library.


I suppose my point is, making books available - even in the "vacant heart of the Wild West."

"If courts can go against a whole tremendous amount of scientific evidence, that just doesn't seem right." More Info: Science News News and Politics

 A newer tradition developed from the horrors of certain families, or maybe just the stress of all the preparation, but Hubby and I are ditching all that this year - we're going camping. Perhaps some brandy to help keep us warm.... And I came across a yummy martini recipe: you'll need a pumpkin liquor (the particular one was a whiskey), vanilla vodka, and Irish cream.  Shake 'em up and then add a pinch of cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Be safe, be fed, be thankful. All my love.
