Hello, my name is Edward and I’m a book-a-holic! Yes and I need to be kept away from bokstores and libraries! The other night even after getting so many books for Christmas I was checking out the list of books I made before Christmas and my Wish List on Amazon and I saw Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness , Medicine and the Murder of a President by Candice Millard, which looks to me to be a great read! So I checked the library catalog and it was checked in at one of the branches, so I requested it, and tonight it came in!
Now this I mind you is while I am currently reading The Boy in the Suitcase, along with Empire of the Summer Moon about the Indian Wars against the Comanches and Waging Heavy Peace Neil Young’s autobiography both of which I am enjoying! Anyway I went to the library to pick it up and rather than just walking straight to the check out desk to pick it up, I went and checked out the new books and of course there were two other books there that I just had to have! One was Fireproof the latest Maggie O’Dell novel from Alex Kava and the other The Inquisitor’s Key the latest Body Farm novel from the pen of Jefferson Bass. I love Kava’s O’Dell and Bass’ Bill Brockton so I couldn’t pass them up! Now I just have to find the time to read them all! Oh, if I could just read as fast as my wife and daughter who I think can average about a book every day or so!
Ok so let’s make a plan of attack – hum, Empire of the Summer Moon and Waging Heavy Peace are both ebooks, so I can read them a little at a time – so I’ll split my main reading time between The Boy and the Suitcase and Destiny of the Republic, that is until another book catches my fancy like that Bill Brockton book or the Patrick Lee book I got for Christmas – no Edward focus!!! One book at a time – no two at a time – oh hell to many books too little time!!! So now back to Denmark and that poor boy Nora found in the suitcase!
