It can. Read a couple of Mark Twain books and get back to me on that....or maybe Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Well, managed to slip on a talus slope and whack out my shoulder and left arm...so it is bedrest, so it's extremely light duty for three or four days....so this recent non-fiction book about spending summer on a remote island off Norway with eiderdown ducks.
i hope you are all better by the end of your bok kris!^^^ on the road - jack kerouac found this on one of our daughters high school bookshelf. i'd heard of it, and seen it referenced many times, but had never read it. i had no idea the sixties started in the forties.
Wow! Think I have read on the road three, maybe four times. Last about nine (?) years ago when I was doing field work in the State of Washington. Between Kerouac and Ken Kesey they had the freaky road trip genre pretty well covered. Would have loved to spend a couple of hours talking to either of them. Well, I did all my incredibly stupid bumming rides when I was 16/17 and lived to tell the tales. kris
I'm currently on "forever hold' for The Shepherd's Life. Placed a hold for The Place of Tides. (thanks!)
Tides had a dozen people ahead of me on the library hold list. Shepherd's had four. I spent the $ at local bookstore for Tides. Took about 30 or so pages to get into it...but very good so far. My shoulder, not so good.
