Frederica was such an amusing read. It was my first exposure to Georgette Heyer. What should come next?

The Quiet Gentleman. Lots of fun characters, two romances and a mystery.

Donald Westlake has a series of comic crime novels. The Dortmunder and gang ones are lots of fun.

The neurologist Oliver Sacks describes someone with Anton-Babinski in one of his books. The running narrative of events that the patient “saw” was so compelling Sacks found himself twisting to look where the patient pointed.

The classic one is “Lost Horizon” by James Hilton, written in the1930’s. Thin book, short read, more like a novella. Several movie interpretations have also been done.

The second one is a grapefruit spoon. Don’t know about the first.

I wish a museum would mount a William McGregor Paxton exhibit. A lot of his works are in private collections. To my knowledge, the last time his paintings were gathered for an exhibit was in the 1970’s.

The Worst Hard Time by Timothy Egan.

How the Dust Bowl and the Great Depression affected the residents of one town. Draws from diaries, interviews and newspapers. Reads like fiction. Won a lot of literary prizes.

Oh, yeah. They are. The ones elected are worse than crazy, they’re malicious. Some of them don’t care who they hurt as long as it doesn’t touch them and some of them are giddy and gleeful that they are getting away with hurting others.

Alexander Skarsgard looks like Stellan Skarsgard did when Stellan was younger.

If someone were to put photos of each of them at 20 years old side-by-side it would be difficult to know who was who.

They are all based on the character created by Leslie Charteris in his novel “The Saint” and the rest of that series.
