I remember covering the Iroquois nations in school in New York in the '90s something about how their confederacy was an inspiration to our government, which now seems suspect.
This week I finished reading Pride and Prejudice which was the 6th and final Jane Austen novel I completed this year. She's the first major author of whom I've read all of their works.
I am now well into The Emperor of Gladness by Ocean Vuong. It is surprisingly delightful in spite of its beginning with contemplated suicide and its cast of characters all downtrodden in some way. They are not, however, despairing and all are becoming believable and sympathetic characters.
Next week on Monday I have a group discussion of Quindlen’s Blessings. On Tuesday book club will discuss Krueger’s The River We Remenber. So I decided not to start the next fiction book until those discussions have occurred. This week I’ve started reading bell hooks’ All About Love: New Visions for morning devotion time and Maggie Smith’s Dear Writer for evening reading.
