Can't leave home without good reads. Light stuff works well, both literally and well, literally. I suppose I could go and pick up something at Bookaholic that I don't mind leaving behind. Hmm.
I am nearly finished with Women Who Wrote the War. Terrific anecdotes. It is good to remember that the professional paths women have access today have not been paved too long ago. In its epilogue, the author noted that the terrific impact the war correspondents did not really reverberate until two generations later.
Anissa took off with the next book I was going to read, so I picked up the Colette bio Secrets of the Flesh. Someone once wrote that no one evoked Paris like Colette so her image will be fresh in my mind when I arrive. In my CR days The Vagabond made an impression and I have enjoyed the settings of her works but I just can't connect with her characters, and while it might have bothered me at one time, I am OK with that now.
