They're different, they're just about life. No startling plots, just life, which is what I like.<br /><br />And if you can get The Sunday Philosophy Club, the first Dalhousie novel, begin with that and read in order if possible as they do have ongoing story lines. <br /><br />Yes, dust will wait!Dewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4025769640802524983.post-44594877261601735322015-06-15T09:22:45.440-07:002015-06-15T09:22:45.440-07:00You make me smile.

Or maybe it is just that we make more time to read because other things just aren't as important as they once were. Dust for instance. I can close my ears to the badgering of dust much easier than when I was 30.<br /><br />I am reading Wolf Hall at present. I have read all of the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books by McCall Smith but none of his Dalhousie series. I'll pick one up at the library soon. Anne Tyler, I confess I have never read one of hers.

I love the smell of a bookstore and the sound of the pages turning as I read. No Kindle or Nook here...paper books for me. I will be ordering this book also and cannot wait to read it.
