I know I mention Mom allot here, but sometimes she is surprising in her literary tastes.
She being Yankee down to her bones visits the Library once a month and checks the cast off bins, free books donated and comes up with some surprises.
Last month she pulled in 4 of her better selections and just dropped them off 3 with me. One went to son about the Civil War about one of the Souths Generals he admires.
First one I got is Afternoons with Emily-----about Emily Dickinson-----Her review is that old Emily was a Strange woman but the book is insightful.
Second, Sons of Camelot, ---Her review is how lucky our family was not born to wealth nor educated at Harvard.
Third is Dawn by Elie Wiesel-------The Anguish and loss of the Moral Jew who has placed himself on the other side of the gun.-------Her review is she is going looking for the other books he has written.
Unfortunately at 90 years old she gets headaches from reading for hours and has decided to give it a rest for the next month or so.
Rats, the family depends on her finds to take us all over the world. Perhaps 10 years from now Mom will still be delivering her child and grand kids books she gets for free and allways a surprise and interesting.
