Many good books to read and not enough time in the day.
Someone once gave me a copy of Lutz' THE HONYOCKER in the 1969 Avon edition. Long time since I took it out of its plastic sleeve and opened it. Time I enjoyed it again. Good luck with that new stack you've got there. Whew!
ReplyDeleteI envy you some of the L'Amours. Sort of wish I could read them the first time again.
ReplyDeleteRon, I'll be looking for a review of The Honyocker.
ReplyDeleteCharles, I picked 'em up at an antique store. There were more of 'em, but only so much money to spend.
HUGS Oscar!
