marked as gave-up

| Gave-up is exaggerating. I read three pages (twice, thinking maybe they would be better the second time) and stopped. I hate this book. I hate this kind of writing. I read somewhere that it is post-modern. I guess I am not. | |

| Two of my main reading interests are non-fiction books about the secret agents during World War II, and books about art, that is, artists, collectors, stolen art, etc. So this promised to fit all my interests and I was really looking forward to it. H ...more | |

rated a book really liked it
|
|
| This is a lovely little book about a man's selfless quest at Christmas time to rescue lost sheep in the blizzards of Iceland, accompanied by his trusty dog and ram. Written in 1936, it's as good a story today as it was then. ...more | |

I agree; it's a wonderful book. I've also read Letters to Camondo by de Waal and it's also good, but not as good.

I'll have to wait til my next life to write my novel. So, I guess we will both be reading as much as we can -and enjoying that a lot.
Patty, I don't think I am up to any of that! I wouldn't mind, but just don't have it in me to attempt a heist or paint anything. I do write, but not novels. I'll just keep on reading about these and dream!
Dvora you are my first friend!! Thanks!! Now, when we finish reading about all of these forgers and art thieves what shall we do. Plan our own heist, paint a Vermeer or write a new novel!!
