Alright Loretta and Jim, the two of you can't be the only bookish ones among us. I love to read as well. Trus spy stories are my favorite stories; I have learned a great deal about history from these tales of the human form at its best and worst. The spies of the American Revolution have moved me more than any other period. I do not mean Benedict Arnold or Nathan Hale, either. There was a man named John Honeyman who aided Gen. Washington, and even more heartwarming and heartbreaking is the story of the Culper Ring. I prowl bookfinder.com and the bibliogrpahies of trus spy story compilations to ferret out the old or out-of-print book. Another subject I have read extensively about is the Kennedy assassination. There are a lot of books outthere, and many purport to be factual, but more often than not, the author has an underlying belief and will slant the facts to their view. Who shot him and got away with it? I have my private theories; not for discussion here. I have also returned to the books we were forced to read in high school and re-read them. Some of them still feel dry - The Scarlet Letter comes to mind - while others breathe with a life of their own. To Kill a Mockingbird and Lady Chatterly's Lover fall into this category for me. I've written about 10 screenplays and 1 novel - nothing published, but Jim read my novel and has kindly offered his criticisms/praise/thoughts for me. I will revise my story and move forward as best as I can. Anyway, hooray for books and thinkers. The world would be a dull place without either.
