What I'm reading ...

I have started Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil by John Berendt.

This is the next Bookclub selection. It is quite long, so it might take me a while, but it seems easy enough to read. It is set in the US Southern states, which is an area that quite interests me.

Time to Depart - by Lindsey Davis

It took me a while to get through this book - mainly because my personal circumstances just didn't allow much reading time. I enjoyed it. The story progresses well, even though I can easily get confused with all the Roman names. I always like the author's style, combining good descriptions with wit. Here is a piece that I rather enjoyed:

Normally I like widows. They are women of the world, often without guardians, and frequently adventurous. This one was different. She did not know she was a widow yet.

Now I must listen to the Bookclub programme.
