Thanks for the recommendations. I wish I could find something I enjoy reading for a few minutes before I drop off to sleep. I am so narrow minded that I can't bring myself to read fiction and usually stick with something "spiritua"l in nature. But most of the modern new agey type books seem dull and full of platitudes. Lately I've been reading some of the lesser known early theosophists. Even that has been somewhat dull.

The author, Nicole Krauss previously wrote ¨The Histoy of Love¨, which I loved. Both were given to me by my daughter (who, as you can expect introduces her Dad to new work). My daughter managed to get the auther to autograph Great House, and presentewd it to me on my birthday. So far, the setting is the Upper West Side of Manhattan, where I have lived for most of my life. The narrator is an author, as are many in the ´hood´´. > > Probably, one of these will suit you, dpending on your interests. > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "seventhray1" steve.sundur@ wrote: > > > > > > > > Care to share some of the recent books you have read? > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "danfriedman2002" > > <danfriedman2002@> wrote: > > > > > > I don´t chose books on (1) personal intimacies, or (2) gossip. > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "wayback71" wayback71@ wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "curtisdeltablues" > > <curtisdeltablues@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "danfriedman2002" > > <danfriedman2002@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > But Curtis, > > > > > > > > > > > > What you are saying is that Rick reported gossip years ago, > > which later appeared in a book by the gossiper.
