Read “Charms of the Easy Life” by Kaye Gibbons last week. Finished it in a day.
I had picked it up at random at a sale, for about 50 US cents, I think, as light reading in between “more serious” stuff. I’m glad I did.
Though parts of the books seemed rushed, Gibbons kept me hooked throughout, impressed me with the sheer beauty of her writing and her amazing powers of characterization: Sophia, Maragaret, and the irrepressible Charlie Kate are all so deftly captured.
Makes me wonder how many tons and tons of good books are out there waiting for me to read them.
So many books, so little time, Roland
I think you might be right on the tons and tons of books out there waiting for you to read them! 🙂
