Just have a bit more to read, and now I’m going to the first, thanks to you: Shoes of the Fisherman, which, while I didn’t know was part of a triology, I’d bought used b/c I loved West so much! 🙂 So I’ll be reading out of order, and I’ve reserved Lazarus at the library. Also have reserved the Anthony Quinn movie. Can’t recall if I told you, but we though Netflix Conclave was interesting. We’re not Catholic, though most of Mike’s family is, but it’s interesting reading. Enjoy.

I probably need to look up Halfman Halfbook too because if you like their recommendations, I might also since I like *your* recommendations, Liz! 🙂 Round and round we go. So many books. ❤️

Good to know, Lynn! I may just start directly with The Clowns of God then. Thanks!

You just taught *me* something!!! Actually, I read C of G (now a 2nd time some 20 yr later—it’s fresh and relevant. I literally just ordered the Shoes of the Fisherman dVD from the library. It stars Anthoy Quinn and is about a Pope (I’m not Catholic). So I’ll read that next. Didn’t now about a 3rd, but yes, I’d presume start w/ #1. But my not knowing that (or reading it), has not jeopardized whatevr my really enjoying Clowns! Enjoy.

Sleepy. Took a Benadryl for a headache, and it’s made me a bit loopy. Hope the above is sensical.

I feel the same appreciation for you, Linda! I immediately zoom in on your book recommendation posts. One of my favorite things to do when I visit someone’s house is to see what books are on their shelves. I’m glad we can do that virtually as well. 🙂

I agree with you about that quote, Deb! I was glad Pink ended with that because it left a big impression on me.

Interesting observation on the one-word titles; I hadn’t noticed that. Yes, most do have longer subtitles, but I find that many of the truly older books don’t necessarily have one. I guess marketing has changed through the years? 🙂 Nowadays it’s rare to see a book without a definitive subtitle to explain what the book is really about.

I have that problem too, Lynn. It seems the holds will be quiet for a long while, then all of a sudden everything becomes available at the same time. I borrow mostly ebooks now from my library, and when they become available, they give me the option of delaying delivery until I’m for sure ready, keeping me first in line for the next available copy. That has been a wonderful thing! 🙂
