Working my way through My Life With The Pros by Bud Collins. Entertaining read. Burst out loud funny at certain points. Has a real way with and love affair with words and relating memories.

After “The Trees” I just needed some more Everett. Started “So Much Blue” tonight with “James” on deck.

Now reading part 2 of “James.” If “Moby Dick” is not the great American novel, then I’ll defer to Hemingway, who said “Huckleberry Finn” is the touch stone. Everett relates the events of HF from the standpoint of Jim. I was initially hesitant about a reworking of a masterpiece, but this one is captivating.
High school English teachers don’t teach HF frequently anymore because of a racial epithet in a story of a boy who chooses hell instead of sells out a friend. As usual, Everett deals with race, the single most complicated domestic issue in American history, with precision and complexity.

Recommend “Horse” by Geraldine Brooks. Beautiful stories within a single book.

As for me, I've decided to re-start Gone With the Wind - will use an audio book to go along with my rather old and dusty copy of that novel. The print is a bit too small for my delicate eyes. Furthermore, 1,000 pages is just too much to read. I'll listen along and hopefully, get a full appreciation of the story.
