Thanks, Gypsy Rose!

Nice biting wit today. I finished the Collected Short Stories of John Cheever. Love his writing. Thanks

Me too, I love those stories…

Can you try a dog psychic or animal communicator? Congrats for completing Margaret again. I’d like to read some Maigret one day. Actually I should put it on my TBR for next year.

We’ve already got a psychic dog…oh no I meant psycho-dog. Yeah we have some experts coming thru who help a bit but it’s not easy!

Last yr the Maigret obsession took firm hold. Simenon’s Maigret is a masterful experience of simplicity, the writer’s/Maigret’s empathy for the foibles and intricacies of the human condition IMO is what sets it apart & drags you in… I’ve read about 10 so far… picking off the kindle $7.95 offerings and using my $3 rewards credits occasionally toward a higher priced one.

A new found delight!

Have you read, 'gods go begging?' Alfredo Vea? I loved it.

@@Scottmbradfield Thanks. You could read it before you start Maigret again!

Where do you start with this Maigret series because I read Misty Harbour and thought it was just ok.

I'd start with any novels published in the fifties or after... but the Maigret's are a sort of acquired taste, you. need to try a few of them before they kick in... kind of like Prozac. (Or so they tell me.) s
