Currently:
Finishing off Hemingway's short stories.
Started Jack London's short stories.
Started "Never Come Morning" by Nelson Algren, after Christmas. A great book about the tough life in the neighborhoods of Chicago in the 1940's.
"Images of 66" by David Wickline. A book of photos and brief texts detailing the history of Route 66 and the businesses and attractions, past and present, along its path.
I saw "Glory" last night, so I'm probably going to pick up something new on the War Between the States.
The Bible in the KJV.
Hi Southside, I can recommend two (very) short stories by Hemingway and London. By Hemingway, it's "A Clean Well Lighted Place." This is said to be one of the best brief existential expressions ever written. By London, it's "The White Silence." Just thinking of it makes me shiver! By the way, it's my personal opinion that NO writer better understood dogs, their behaviour and their relationship to humans.
