I just finished reading Freya Stark's "A Winter In Arabia", a satisfying read. Ms. Stark is intrepid explorer and savvy feminist; she is also a clever and intuitive diplomat. Her witty and well laid out books all fascinate me. I have no real desire to travel to the lands that she descibes, but she evokes the nuance and feeling of the culture that is rare among writers. She is entirely enjoyable as a travel companion from my sofa.
I have no classes for about seven weeks. What to read, what to read?
The public library is calling me.... My list is growing by the day. For a few sweet weeks, no one is getting married, no one is bacheloretting, no one is calling with parties. I will remain indoors to stay the inexorable deepening of my freckles and simply read. A lot. Ahhh....
