I am,
as I mentioned,
yesterday,
in prep mode.
I am assembling a reading list.
For the waiting,
for the hospital,
for the convalescence,
it’s fun.
Trying to pick,
small but deep books,
for the traveling,
waiting in between tests.
I have just started,
Selected Stories of Sholom Alechem,
it’s been on my shelf for years,
these are the stories,
they based Fiddler On The Roof,
on.
I love things to do with history,
and am particularly interested in,
Jewish history,
these are short stories,
just right for commuting,
keeping your focus,
elsewhere.
I also have a few,
small vintage paperbacks,
The Power And The Glory,
Graham Greene,
The Loved One,
Evelyn Waugh,
a small Lorna Doone,
which my girl gave me years ago,
and,
I haven’t gotten around to reading.
For the convalescence,
I have Of Human Bondage,
by Maugham,
one of my favourites,
and,
a pile of dyke romances,
and,
adventure stories.
There are a few french books,
I have been meaning to read,
two Jacques Godbout(s)
and some classic French stuff,
amongst others,
Therese Desqueyroux,
by Francois Mauriac,
L’immoraliste,
by Andre Gide,
Le Grand Meaulnes,
by Alain Fournier,
and,
some light stuff,
The Hunger Games,
which mom loved.
A few non-fictions,
A Short History Of Progress,
Ways Of Seeing by John Berger,
lots of reading in sight,
it will help keep me busy,
focused, occupied,
and,
moving forward to the next,
great adventures,
of my life.
After the surgery,
which will remove a very large,
fibroid,
who knows,
I might become known as,
the svelte bookish butch,
or SBB,
for short
đŸ™‚
Be well,
you all,
see you on the flip side.
Later girls,
BB
