Exactly why I love it. She was just learning, so technically, it isn’t very good.

What is just endearing to me is that she paid attention to what I say, things I reference in books, the books she sees me pack in my bags when we go on vacation, things like that.

For another person to take note that carefully of the things that interest you, even someone you have been married to for many decades, is flattering in ways that I have a hard time describing.

That is what I find charming about it.

We don’t always draw a great hand in life, but with her, I surely did. That woman is absolute gold.

She is very shy about having her work appear anywhere on the Internet, so I usually respect that. I even had to photoshop her name out of it on this case for just that reason.

But there are times I am so proud of her, that I go against her wishes...:)

Anything by Mark Levin.

I thought he said easy to read...

Over the years people have tried to get me to read J.R.R. Tolkien. I say no I won’t read him as he has four initials and I find that too pretentious.

A friend of mine in high school (who had a dog named Bilbo) talked me in to reading “The Hobbit.”

I’m so glad he did, because I read that one and then devoured the LOTR series, finding each book to be better than the previous one.

“ A Day In The Life of Ivan Denisovich, also by Soltzhenitsyn.”

Every high school student in this nation should have to read this very short book. Most have never even heard of the Gulag. This would open their eyes about freedom and its loss.

Well, Mark Levin’s works are hardly Dick and Jane, but you will be smarter for having read them.

More pissed-off at the commies that have infiltrated things, but smarter.

Every American child should read Eckert before graduating High School. Best series on America ever written.

It is. You’re also going to find details about that battle in A SORROW IN OUR HEART [SUBTITLED] THE LIFE OF TECUMSEH by Allan Eckert. All his books are easy and fun to read.
