These are the books I read since last year. Actually physically read on my tablet, hardback, and paperback. I listed them below. I found a favorite author, Chris Crutcher. I’ve read quite a few of his books. Seneca suggests we find writers than move us and make us want to read them over and over. I’m not sure I want to read all Crutcher’s books again, but will read the best of them. Pat Conroy is my second favorite author. I’ve read about five of his books, but not recently. I’m pleased with the variety of the books I’ve read. They say you need to read to be a good writer. I’m doing my best.
Read two romance novels recommended by the wife of one of my fraternity brothers. Enjoyed them far more than I expected. Much to my surprise, they had little sex in them. More Than a Mistress and No Man’s Mistress by Mary Balogh.
Read half of a biography on Tennessee Williams.
