Since we’re staying indoors away from people these days, it’s time for some heavy reading. I just finished a couple: ‘The Vile and the Splendid’ which is the story of Winston Churchill’s first year as prime minister during World War II. It was a worthwhile read even though a little heavy regarding some of his family’s pettiness. I also finished re-reading ‘The Shootist,’ one of the great westerns of all time. Next: ‘These Truths,’ a new history of the United States and probably another James Lee Burke mystery. Burke is one I can heartily recommend. There are a couple books waiting for me to review that I’ve received from my editor in Santa Fe, NM, and they will get into the mix soon.
