Reading, reading

In spite of the end of the Hornblower series, I have been keeping myself busy. I read a not-very-good A Reliable Wife - it had rave reviews, but I don't recommend it. Kind of trashy and very "dark" - I really did a skim job on it just to figure out "who dunnit!"

Now I'm enjoying The African Queen - by C.S. Forester - as good as the film.

At the same time, I'm reading The Biography of Horatio Hornblower - by somebody Parkinson - it's an "official" biography of a fictional character - and pretty good reading. An interesting construct.

I'm getting ready to attack the Newberry list!!
