The Sunday Salon: Headed Home from Big Sandy, Texas

     

Welcome! I'm happy you joined us here at the Sunday Salon. 

What is the Sunday Salon? The Sunday Salon is a place to link up and share what we have been doing during the week plus it's a great way to visit other blogs and join in the conversations going on there. 

What I Read Last Week:

The Paper Chase by John Jay Osborne, Jr.

What I'm Reading Now:

Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham

What I Posted Last Week Here at Readerbuzz:

Sunday Salon: Big Sandy, Here We Come

The 1970 Club

Books I Was Assigned to Read in School

The Paper Chase by John J. Osborn, Jr.

The Classics Club has issued the announcement of the 39th Classics Club Spin.

What is the spin?

It’s easy. At your blog, before next Sunday, October 20th, create a post that lists twenty books of your choice that remain “to be read” on your Classics Club list.

This is your Spin List.

You have to read one of these twenty books by the end of the spin period.

Try to challenge yourself. For example, you could list five Classics Club books you have been putting off, five you can’t WAIT to read, five you are neutral about, and five free choice (favourite author, re-reads, ancients, non-fiction, books in translation — whatever you choose.)

On Sunday, October 20th, The Classics Club will post a number from 1 through 20. The challenge is to read whatever book falls under that number on your Spin List by Sunday, December 18th. 

Let's see who can make it the whole way and finished their spin book!

So here is my list.

1, 11 Travels With a Donkey at the Cevennes by Robert Louis Stevenson

2, 12 The Travels by Marco Polo

3, 13 Zen and Zen Classics by R. L. Blyth

4, 14 Ringworld by Larry Niven

5, 15 The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

6, 16 Neuromancer by William Gibson

7, 17 The End of the Affair by Graham Greene

8, 18 City by Clifford D. Simak

9, 19 The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan

10, 20 Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee

And the spin stops on...

Erin and Lisa decided to substitute Dial M for Murder

for next week's Comfy Cozy Movie.

I missed out on Rear Window this week,

but I hope to have a double feature next week.

Home Libraries Will Save Civilization by Nadya Williams (Front Porch Republic)

I began to list 3 Good Things every day during the pandemic. Now I've established a regular routine of writing down my 3 Good Things. Here are 3 Good Things from last week:

Good Thing #1:

A full moon in Big Sandy.

Good Thing #2:

We have been working hard

on taking pictures of pollinators

and plants for the 

Texas Pollinator BioBlitz.

Good Thing #3:

We've been playing soccer,

shooting baskets,

playing board games,

drawing,

playing in some parks,

going on nature walks,

reading books,

and just hanging out

with our grandkids

and their parents this week in Big Sandy.

Whew! Fun. But I'm tired.
