ATM is very good, very funny & very perceptive about the whole biography "business".Dawdling along is sometimes a good way to read, especially at the beginning of the year when you're trying to get your plans sorted out.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-3502852629084122342014-01-12T14:57:58.118+11:002014-01-12T14:57:58.118+11:00I hope you enjoy her books, Karoline.I hope you enjoy her books, Karoline.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-38331280821283377352014-01-12T07:44:43.903+11:002014-01-12T07:44:43.903+11:00Lyn, how interesting to read this post.

Regardless, I knew I was in the hands of a remarkable writer. For whatever reason I haven't read any more Lively and your post reminds me that I really should. So adding a couple of her titles for this year's reading list. (A vague sort of list which is mean to guide me - sort of.) ACCORDING TO MARK sounds like something I'd like. It's amazing that the month is halfway in already and I'm still dawdling along, reading-wise. Reading a couple of books from Project Gutenberg online and that sort of reading always slows me up.
