Today I completed a very good book that I enjoyed. This is The Madonnas of Leningrad by Debra Dean. What I enjoyed the most about this work was thinking of art and religion or not religion, and most of all of what is lastingly beautiful.
Now I'm somewhat bookless, so hopefully tomorrow something good will come up.
I don't know why I don't always read the current popular thrillers, so maybe I'll try one. Either that or there shall be something reliably old and popular.
In any case, I hope to make sense of this rainy weather that we have been having through the discovery of what I hope will be an excellent book. Again this blog is probably way too frivolous, but maybe I'll tell some more people about it. It does help me to keep a record of what I've read recently. It is so good to read, and I'm thankful both for my eyesight and for my good friends who are readers, too.
There is a fine quote in the novel mentioned above. Hopefully I'll find it again in the future. Actually there were several lovely sentences that made me glad to be reading this book.
I'm glad you told me about this blog! I love getting book recommendations and I'm adding this one to my list-- sounds like one I would enjoy. It's a great idea to keep a record of the books you read-- I have a relative who keeps a journal of everything she reads and her thoughts on it and I've always wanted to do the same but haven't made the time. I look forward to reading about the books you've read and your opinions of them on this blog!
