What are you currently reading?
Our very tall Pukka got me thinking.
In between examinations of the electrical schematics of my car (grrr!) I've been reading 'Over There with the Australians' by R. Hugh Knyvett. (dryly) They weren't very PC back then. What are you reading? Pete

Still haven't finished the John Adams Biography. Recent personal events have distracted me. But, now the vintage audio room/study is nearly completed. I picked up a nice chair from the Savation Army today. And I'm going lamp shopping tomorrow. Soon, I'll snuggle up with the book, put on some tunes, pour some Dr. McGillicuttys Vanilla Schnapps and resume reading.

That's a heck of a plan. Sounds wonderful!
Noone, does that mean Jesus is a legacy?  Pete

"Life" by Keith Richards. I'm really enjoying it. Keef is brutally honest and shows a human side most of us are probably unaware that he had. Recommended.
BTW, Patti Smith is going to be in downtown DC tomorrow giving a talk and doing a book signing at the National Portrait Gallery. Her autobiography is supposed to be very good. In fact, it recently won some big literary award.

As I said on another thread, "Ned's First Reader"
There was a time when it was considered to be required reading, a fact long lost on the current crop of eggheads. It's not often that I'm able to elevate my snoot at all of you intellectuals, and a chance I'll not miss. Chas

Sarah Palin - America by Heart.
Actually, I'm catching up on a lot of back issues of the New Yorker. It has some really good short stories. Regards, D-Ray
