Due to your constant enthusiasm, I tried an ebook last night and LOVED it! It's so much easier than holding a 700+ page biography over my head in bed. THANK YOU. 🥰
Now you may find it hard to go back! An e-reader provides an objectively superior reading experience to paper. Any "advantage" paper books have are purely subjective, like "look, feel, and smell" and all that nonsense.
Right having spent a large slice of the morning, now I'm going to have to research Hamlin Garland, Alfred Noyes, the Saturday Evening Post Treasury, and Henry Marian Hall. I also need to xheck out Richardson Reads latest and Grammaticus. Then I need a walk before settling down to read. You see why I love this channel, you keep me engaged, interested, and supplied with book ideas. You seemto have got over the allergy sniffles, ao all is right with Booktube.
I’ve picked up a leCarre for the very first time from the library today. I couldn’t recall why I was looking for one.. and now I do! It’s his first George Smiley book. 😊😊
101 years and no stinkers? That’s intriguing. Ahh, the woodcocks are the amazing harbingers of spring. I love to hear their “freep freep freep” then struggle to view them in dusky skies as they fall with their “wichity wichity wichity “ calls. How impressive this must sound to the females even when they look like they were put together with spare bird parts😂
Hah! He most certainly is not! Ask a hundred - a thousand - random people on the sidewalks of Chicago if they know the name Hamlin Garland & see what happens. But I’m glad YOU remember him!
Hamlin Garland's Roadside Meetings sounds like so much fun.

Oh my, yes, for very long books there's simply no comparison!

I have never seen that Riddle of the Sands before. How interesting!

It was great to meet you there Steve! Thanks for swinging by. I loved the Brattle! (Grammaticus)
My mother loved that edition of Ellery Queen! She used to read some of the stories aloud to us. (My father sometimes read Eudora Welty stories aloud.)
Yeah Uncle John's Bathroom Reader! Those can be fun.
Nice haul. I also came home with a bag of books, mostly pulp. Doc Savage, Star Trek, and Conan
What !?!?! No romance at the Brattle bookshop 😢😢😢 ... Surely you jest sir !!!
Garland is still remembered in Chicago!

Erasmus the Dutch humanist.
