Books On Books to Be Read -- 

    Read some scriptures today, mostly from Revelations. Holy scriptures are good.

What else am I reading? I just finished a Harold Bloom essay book of Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings, Hobbit, and Silmarillion tomes. I believe this is my second essay book on the subject. Fascinating topics and discussions. Thought-provoking. That was yesterday, in my car. I read quite a bit in the front seat, like when waiting for my daughter during piano practice and other times. Deep thoughts about heroes and themes, language, antecedents. Really interesting scholars.

    Hemingway's posthumous "Islands in the Stream". Part II, Cuba. First part was Bimini Island.

    "The Painting that Shook Up the World." A biography of sorts about Pablo Picasso. Maybe "Changed" the world. Or shocked the world. It has been really interesting.

Spain, where she lived and now has visited a couple times.
