    Last month, I've finally managed to read 'Catch 22', which was missing on my list for far too long. This was followed by 'Norwegian Wood' by the Japanese write Murakami. And currently, I am catching up on one of my old favourites, the various cases (short stories) of Sherlock Holmes in the second compilation called 'The Return of ..'

    'Rollin' yer Swag' by William C.F Cowen, a memoir of his own life growing up and working in Western Queensland and the Northern Territory.

    Right now I'm reading a children's book called 'Kidnapped' by Robert Louis Stevenson.

    The wife and I often grab selections from the "Young Adults" section at the library. There are some real gems tucked in there.

    That there are Matt...Been sorting a few of those that I own today. Not enough bookcases here, so a little re-arranging is happening, and space being made on other shelf spaces for books. What I wouldn't give for one of those old fashioned reading rooms, with floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookcases!

    Then you would get to have one of those cool wheelie ladder thingos, wear a velvet smoking jacket, and some sort of velvet embroidered hat.

    Depends if you were reading it for pleasure or not I suppose.

    Like Jimmy I am working my way through the Bible. I have a bookmark in the OT and the NT. I try to get some of it daily, time permitting. I am also reading "Boehnhoffer" by Metaxas. It is about Dietrich Boehnhoffer who was a pastor in pre 3rd Reich Germany who plotted to assassinate Hitler. God book, but very detailed and deep.
