Sorry, no book talk today

Been busy with stuff--work, laundry, choir, writing, cooking--and can't think of a book to recommend.

Oh wait. I did read one thing recently that was interesting... two letters of Pliny the Younger describing the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 A.D. A first hand account. You can find his Letters in any library or book store. (I warned you way back, I like Greek and Roman authors)
They are also online,
Pliny the Younger on Mt. Vesuvius

Ark!! Hope his Letters have been translated into English - both my Greek and Latin are terribly rusty ....

Uh~oh, now Priscilla has disappeared..where did you go?

Priscilla said...

I'm here.

Busy writing my silly novel.

It is not silly...

(unless you are writing slapstick)

I wish I could write...I feel that I have the words within me, but I don't know quite how to direct them.
