Today is Sunday. Some people spend Sundays reading "The Good Book." Me-I just read a good book. I'm now reading "61 Hours" by Lee Child. The main character is Jack Reacher, who is one of my three favorite fictional characters. Jack is a roamer who seems to find a mystery to be solved. This setting in this novel is South Dakota. As I used to drive across SoDak, I never thought it would ever be a setting for a mystery. Wrong-the setting blends into the plot very well. There are 14 books in paperback in this series which I have read each of them and one that just came out in hardback but I buy only paperbacks.
I now have 14 other books at home to read when I finish this one. Reading is one of my favorite interests. I also like reading newspapers. I can't understand people who get their news from phones. We get the Denver Post and used to get USA Today in Casper but gave it up when we moved. We just don't have time for two newspapers. I also read magazines while I have a book going. I subscribe to TIME and Sports Illustrated and get a few from some memberships. I especially like the Colorado AAA magazine.
I don't know if I would do well in a book club. I prefer trashy mysteries with no social redeeming qualities to cloud my mind.

Hey, I found your blog when looking for AAA Colorado-related things online, and it was a really nice surprise to find compliments about the magazine. I was the writer/editor/general production person for EnCompass for the last six years. I still write articles for it, although I'm now doing social media for AAA Colorado rather than focusing on production of the print magazine.
ReplyDeleteIt's so nice to see readers say they enjoy it. Thank you very much (and thanks for reading).
