A million things to do, so many things that need taking care of, and yet here I sit, scrolling on my phone, finding good books to read.
I have a load of laundry I just moved from the washer to the dryer, and as I wait, I could be doing other things. Yet the call of a good book to read is something I find hard to resist!!
I am currently reading Greg Iles' novels. I enjoy his Penn Cage series, they're hard to put down!!! But something about his writing draws me more than the story. I think it has to do with how he adds realism to the stories. There's the story of the characters, but it doesn't jump back and forth from events to dialog. There is also the thought process in between, lines like "Life taught me long ago how thin the veneer of civilization really is...". His Penn Cage stories are set in the south, and you get a feel for a different way of life.
I am currently reading "Southern Man", but I have two more of his novels queued up! Its been above average warm (80+ yesterday!) here in the Valley of the Sun, maybe I'll read and eat lunch while I sit in the sun today!
