Of course. I've more than one current read going right now, but here's a couple of lines from the book closest to hand:
"No, he thought, pulling on his windbreaker, I've done my grieving. I'll give my memory of Barnabas to the One who sent him in the first place and be glad of the pleasure of having known that good fellow."
~p. 388, At Home in Mitford, by Jan Karon
My usual pleasure reading leans toward mysteries and crime procedurals, but Christmas vacation seemed like a good time to revisit Father Tim and the gentle people of the hills around Mitford, as it's been a number of years since I wandered that way.
What are you reading?
~Mamie "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro!" (Hunter S. Thompson)
I'm reading The History of Love by Nicole Krauss right now and loving it.
ReplyDeleteGood I continued in Yiddish, because this here dumbell, I said, gesturing at the man in the bow tie,this here putz has inserted himself up my tuchas and it's only because I cant crap of my own free will that he has not been ejected. Would you kindly ask him to take his paws off me before I am forced to plug his schnoz with another plant, and this time I won't bother to de-pot it.
The problem with this little meme is that it makes me want to read what EVERYONE else is reading - in my "spare" time!
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice. The Mitford series is lovely. My TT: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/12/teaser-tuesdays-a-stitch-before-dying.html
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a lovely story, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMine is very different http://bit.ly/hs6O5G
I love The Mitford Series! Thank you for reminding me of that particular scene, it was one of my favorite storylines.
ReplyDeleteI am currently reading the second of the Father Tim series, In The Company of Others, by Jan Karon. He and his spunky wife are on vacation in Ireland. It's a lovely read so far and has made me miss the people of Mitford, a place I found refuge from some of the harsher realities that life sometimes brings.
