And, as I mentioned to Dieter above, we all have our own taste, so if you do check any of these out I hope you’ll like them. If you prefer “softer” stories I’m not sure about some of these. But the non-mysteries might work in that regard.<br /><br />And I’d be flattered if you want to quote me. Please let me know when it runs.<br />Paul D.

Amy speaks/reads Spanish and has read Don Quixote and other things in the original. I envy that. Razor’s Edge is a great book. I hope you’ll be able to read it. But I’m not familiar with Don’t Stop the Carnival. I’ll have to look it up.Paul D.

I'm having knee surgery in a couple weeks so I anticipate having some extra time to read. I'll consider some of your faves, although I usually like "softer" stories<br />A request: I will be writing a post for The Writers In Residence blog soon and want to write about re-reading as well. MAY I QUOTE you in parts of this post if I give attribution?

The story holds up very well even though I read somewhere that the original version is somewhat different from the translated version we are reading now. I think I prefer this telling. I am still looking for The Razor's Edge since you have mentioned it often. I just watched the movie for the fifth or sixth time and do like it. I now want to see what the book has to say. As for rereading books, I've done that a few times. Still like Don't Stop the Carnival. With the hurricanes lately, the book came to mind. It would make a good movie.GBPoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12190573764848658894noreply@blogger.com
