After doing the morning's chores, Judy and I have lunch
and then go for our afternoon walk that includes a stop for coffee. When
we return home, the remainder of the afternoon is spent by the pool where we
each curl up with our books. Sometime in February 2010, after becoming
frustrated by the process of choosing a suitable book at the library, I
decided on an easier way to make my book selections. The
A. K. Smiley Library has a wonderful "Biography" section located in the basement. The
books are sorted in alphabetical order by the last name of the subject. So, I started with "AAA," and,
after I finish that book, I return to the stack and move down to the next biography
that grabs my attention. As of this update, I am
up to "CAR."
Here's what I've read to date.
