So many books, so little time.

OMG I love books. The one constant in my life (nearly 3/4 of a century so far!) has been a love of reading. Mom taught me phonics before I even entered kindergarten and I've been hooked (get it, Boomers?) ever since.

I am a Fahrenheit 451 baby--I cut my political teeth on that book. I firmly believe that everything you could ever possibly want to know can be found in a book, somewhere.

commented on Faith Bass Darling's last garage sale by Lynda Rutledge

Lynda Rutledge: Faith Bass Darling's last garage sale (2013, Berkley Books) 4 stars

Faith Bass Darling, the richest woman in Bass, Texas, and a twenty-year recluse, holds a …

All I remember 11 years later is that I liked it. I wish I could say more, but I'm only adding it when I ran across something else of Rutledge's and was reminded of it. I guess it says a lot that I still feel this way about it 11 years later! You won't regret reading it.
