As much as I love David Letterman,I hate falling asleep on the sofa waiting the see the musical guest.I need a book that draws me into my cozy bed with my reading glasses -every night.I read "Lost City Radio" slowly,so I could savor and enjoy as long as possible.
I like a book that has a few words that I turn to the dictionary for.And enjoy being delighted to find that the unknown word is a perfect word.
Who to pass this book along to? My sister who recently visited Lima? My senior friend who enjoys reading history and politics? My neighbor who spent part of her childhood in South America? My best friend who just got dumped by her boyfriend? My co-worker who gave me "The Shadow of the Wind" to read? My lover who likes to read Nelson DeMille and Harlan Coben? My buddy active in the ACLU?
I'll share it with all of them.
