The father-in-law showed up on Friday with a stash of books, of which I read
Sailor on Horseback by Irving Stone, a biography of
Jack London,
The Sportswriter by Richard Ford, Galatea by
James M. Cain, and I started The Old Patagonia Express by
Paul Theroux - these were part of the stash Dana's uncle
the Book Snake sent to the father-in-law to read while he was recovering from surgery.
The London book is about 70 years old, the Cain book about 50 years old, the others about 30 years old.
The reason for so much reading is that I was the designated sitter of this crew, while the others went to the Virginia Highlands Festival.
