Given the state of things here, this is what is going on right now on the Reading Road Map journey:
Finished "Arctic Dreams" and a post to come soon.
Reading Colette short stories, as well as "Earthly Paradise", an autobiography of sorts comprised of short pieces written by Colette.
Another M.F.K. Fisher book, "Two Towns in Provence".
Listening to "Five Red Herrings" by Dorothy L. Sayers, a free audio book download from my local library. I like this production because it is done as a radio play rather than a narrator reading the book.
Just barely beginning "The Mountains of the Moon", a trip to central Africa in the early part of the 20th century. I pulled out one of our beautiful old 1950's map books to follow along with the British Museum Herbarium expedition to Ruwenzori, 'the mountains of the moon'. The map book takes up almost half of the dining room table when opened out so I suspect it will not get to live there long. This journey will go on hold until later this month. The map books will be the subject of more than one post. They are close to the top of my list of favorite things.
Kenya and Uganda
Ruwenzori
I am also strolling through cookbooks as I plan the weekly menu. What I am NOT doing, is going to book-related blogs to read reviews of new books, ordering new books, and moving them to the bookshelf to sit unread for who knows how long. So far, so good!
Looking at the above list, one might think a bit of "reading ADD" has returned. It looks like a scatterbrain list, but really, it does not feel like it in real life.
There might be a beautiful picture book about Leonard and Virginia Woolf's garden at Monk's House coming my way, but it will be a gift, so it does not count. Right?
I Cannot Wait!
