As for my reading, my review posted the other day highlights my recent completed reading: the story of Grover Cleveland's secret surgery. I'm now between books. I wonder what is next.

You fail.<br /><br />Ha, ha. Just joking. Actually Sherlock Holmes, in my humble opinion, is the best of all the mystery stories. Holmes is such a complicated, fascinating character and the story lines are built up so well. No one has surpassed Doyle's mastery.<br /><br />Take care and have a good week too! :)Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-33398205303370481792017-06-05T17:35:26.104-07:002017-06-05T17:35:26.104-07:00Hi Mudpuddle.

I found some at a giant flea market which is held the first weekend of each month about an hour from here. There's a vendor there with a great book collection. She has a lot of out of print cheap books.<br /><br />Also, I get collections from ebay. If you're patient you can come across estate sales where the vendor is simply trying to get rid of stuff and selling bunches of books for one cheap price. Note the key word: cheap. That's my middle name.<br /><br />I have not watched the Perry Mason TV series, although I've watched Raymond Burr in Ironside-one of my childhood favorite shows- and also some old movies.<br /><br />Mountains and Molehills sounds good. I'm on my way to Amazon after this. I love books like that.<br /><br />Kitchen opera, ha! Actually, reading the rest of your paragraph is not funny at all. That is so frustrating and I'm very sorry for your predicament. Man! I hope this is resolved soon!<br /><br />We just had a man come out to look at our roof because our window is leaking water when it rains, thanks to our twister experience a week ago. He immediately saw where the damage was and is coming tomorrow to fix it, thank goodness because I'm taking my parents back to Florida Wednesday.Sharon Wilfonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17466621290140789056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-61895251011757561442017-06-05T15:56:48.982-07:002017-06-05T15:56:48.982-07:00Hi Sharon.

The Perry Mason books sound good but I may start with Sherlock Holmes. <br /><br />I love the television series. <br /><br />Have a great week!Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-948826710613032587.post-2578621759349669652017-06-05T15:11:03.416-07:002017-06-05T15:11:03.416-07:00OMG!!: a Perry Mason i haven't read!... i...OMG!!: a Perry Mason i haven't read!... i've read about half of them, i think; many of them are hard to find...<br /> weve been watching Raymond Burr as PM in the TV series made in the late fifties... very well done and the acting is great with an excellent cast of ancillary characters....<br /> Brahms is wonderfully idiomatic in a German sort of way, i've found, perhaps more fun to play than listen to, ime, anyhow... <br /> i'm currently into "Mountains and Molehills" by Frank Marryat, the son of Fred, the famous author of sea stories... it's in diary form, covering the California gold rush and subsequent events in South America; he's an excellent writer, just like his dad...<br /> the latest chapter in the great Kitchen opera: after dodging in and out of motels, rented houses, and our own place, the remodel was finally completed and we came home; only to discover that the new furnishings were emitting some kind of voc smell that was giving us headaches and making us nauseous... after a lot of back and forth, the resolution involved yanking all the cabinets and counters back out of the kitchen and leaving a bare-to-the-walls room... nobody knows what to do and so we're sitting here, staring out the window, waiting for an inspiration to come lofting through and instill more(probably fruitless)action on our part...Mudpuddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194891656971454279noreply@blogger.com
