A "Yellow Raft " was very good. The story is told in reverse in a really neat way. I won't say more as others may have not read it yet.
"War and Peace" is always bad mouthed as long and boring; wrong, its like a good soap opera; I read it in college. Mom, seriously, you'll love the book. Willing to try it?

That book be told backwards? Mr. T., you sure that ain't one of them Japanese books you was reading? My Uncle Leroy was over there in the war and told me you got to read they stories from back to front. No wonder them people so cross eyed.

What?! I'm just telling you what my Uncle Leroy relate to me! He also tell me they just as terrible drivers over there as they is here. I mean, it hard to see that road when you eyes be squinting like that all the time!
ReplyDeleteJohn, Finished Yellow Raft last night. That book was not written in the usual manner, but it kept you interested to the end. I guess I am ready for your next one, War & Peace, Sounds current, HA, Mom
ReplyDeleteJohn, I have been sitting garage watching birds, squirrel came racing across the yard mouth full of something as big as a cantaloupe in his mouth, tried to see where he went,failed. Weeds have not totally returned but they are trying. still got bronchitis,no fever,got medicine from pharmacist, havn't taken yet, but is for allergies. Let you know out come.Love Mom
ReplyDeleteGrandma Taylor! Do you think that squirrel had heself an oversized Cheeto Ball up in he mouth? Cuz if that be it, the next time you see that squirrel, tell him that Rondell be hot on his trail.
ReplyDeleteThat lil' no good rascal stole that Cheeto right out my hand last week when I was having me a snack out on the front porch. Then he climb up in that Mulberry tree and taunted me by shaking he tail at me! Rondell be as mad as Cooper's cats!
Rondell, I can really picture that. The birds, squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, are just all having a great time in my yard. Hope you have the same scene, Enjoy.grandma Barb
ReplyDeleteGrandma Barb, honey, I think we got two different scenes up in our yards. While you enjoying the nature, Rondell's yard be full of them pesky, thieving, no-good varmits who trying to get theyselves a nibble of my grub! I'm having to go outside to sit in my lawnchair with my shotgun and an aluminum bat because the war be on!
