My siblings were magnanimous in giving me a Kindle for Christmas. As a writer and lover of literature I can only say I am thrilled at the potential of carrying around up to 3,000 books at once. While my home will be less than filled with books, my heart and mind will expand beyond reason now. Ask me how much I love tapping on a word and discovering it's definition literally at my fingertip!
I've always been a good reader--not fast, but good--and make a deliberate attempt at reading in a broad and sincere way. So, it was with great delight that I have discovered P.G. Wodehouse for the first time. I know, I know--I should have read some of this stuff long ago. But, what fun now!
Love Among the Chickens: A Story of the Haps and Mishaps on an English Chicken Farm was delightful, a little brutish in the main character's self-absorption, and just a kick at the pants at times. I would highly recommend it. Watch out for the odd ending--which I am still trying to figure out.
Speaking of fowl . . . I will be reading from a short story series that I have been writing on birds at the next CSWRS open mic. Or maybe I'll read some more about my favorite new character Pauley. One way or the other we'll have a good time.
Happy reading!
