What are you about to finish? How do you feel about it? What's your next read?
I'm just finishing G.K. Chesteton's The Secret of Father Brown. An easy genteel series of short stories. Enough twists to keep me reading in most of the stories. Occasionally outlandish. I like how Father Brown views things differently to a lot of people and there is the occasional point of humour. Would read the rest of the Father Brown books if I came across them but not going to seek them out.
Earlier this week I read Letters of a Portuguese Nun. Such passion! A character at absolute odds with my own yet I could understand the thought processes she has. Although I could never understand taking the time to move them from passing trivial thought to written record and giving them such weight. And I sure don't get admitting them to the man who slighted you! The author was someone who had a good grasp of heartache and the associated mental torment.
Up next I've some short essays on democracy and At Mrs Lippincote's by Elizabeth Taylor (not that E.T.).
