Reading and hockey updates

Still grey and damp.

I’m not going to complain at least it’s not 40 degrees Celsius.

The Canadiens have lost 2 of their first 3, it’s OK still pre-season.

The bookstore has been quiet, it will pick up.

Yesterday, this really nice woman I know from the neighborhood,

brought in  a whole bunch of books,

 and among them,

 was a dark blue leather bound Oscar Wilde, Stories.

This book is the perfect size to take on my train trip to Toronto.

It’s only 8 by 5 and contains The Picture Of Dorian Gray and many other stories.

I  have never read any Oscar Wilde.

By, the time I get back from Toronto I will have.

I finished the Carver collection and I really loved it,

 minimalism at it’s best.

I’m almost finished  A Death In The Family  by James Agee,

I’ve cried a few times,

 it is poignant , not sentimental, raw. 

I also started My Year Of Meats,

 which I will be reading for my own version of a book club.

Well, I have to get ready.

Going to a family lunch/dinner for my favourite cousin’s birthday.

Later girls
