Don Quixote translation by Edith Grossman. Okay, today a 900 plus page book that repeats adventures would bore a reader. I have taking into account this was writen at the turn of the 1600's and is considered the start of the modern novel. That in mind I am enjoying the adventures of Don Quixote and his poor squire.

Head on over to

https://backtotheisland.org/blogs/news/only-dreamers

And check out and read a very well written article/blog about The Chart Room Bar in Key West. We just launched this and Rebecca (insta: onlydreamersbtti) is SO talented and describes her first experience in this legendary bar.

Cheers,
Jay

I'm working on #39 for the year. The next couple of months will be busy, so my reading pace will slow down a bit.

There was a book exchange where we stayed and I grabbed this Billy Connolly autobiography. Always enjoyed his comedy and this did not disappoint.
