This Looks Good!

Doesn’t this cover grab you? I heard about Out Stealing Horses from one of the electronic newsletters I receive. Here is the blurb from Barnes & Noble:

Out Stealing Horses has been embraced across the world as a classic, a novel of universal relevance and power. Panoramic and gripping, it tells the story of Trond Sander, a sixty-seven-year-old man who has moved from the city to a remote, riverside cabin, only to have all the turbulence, grief, and overwhelming beauty of his youth come back to him one night while he’s out on a walk. From the moment Trond sees a strange figure coming out of the dark behind his home, the reader is immersed in a decades-deep story of searching and loss, and in the precise, irresistible prose of a newly crowned master of fiction.

Yet another book to add to my “to-read” pile! If any of you have read it, let me know.

Sizzling.. In a Good Way

It’s 110 degrees in So. California right now. I keep having flashbacks to that Twilight Zone episode titled The Midnight Sun, where the sun is getting closer and closer and everyone is in dire need of water. It’s enough to keep you indoors for sure!

For those lucky folks that are not at work right now, grab a nice glass of iced tea or lemonade or if you feel somewhat snooty you can make an Arnold Palmer (half tea, half lemonade), and check out NPR’s sizzling hot summer reads.

I can never get enough of this stuff.
