Reading, T.G. & Y. and Romance
I believe in reading, not just the truly important works, or the socially significant ones, just the action of reading. So as I write in this blog sometimes you will just get titles or authors I’ve just picked up and read. My grandmother used to read westerns, I mean boxes of westerns, she and the next door neighbor ( a long distance truck driver) would swap them by the boxes full. So whenever I would go down to the T.G. & Y. (an earlier Oklahoma Walmart type store, where I spent a great deal of my childhood), ![]()
Gran would say get me a few. While I was there I usually picked up some comics for myself as well, or a paperback or two. And so I just read, it’s hereditary and learned behavior. Not every book I mention will you want to read, some I’ll really go on about, some mention in passing.
Just read and the good will come to the top, the bad will be easily forgotten and you’ll enjoy yourself along the way.
P.S. Just finished a Jane Ann Krentz, romance lovers you can’t go wrong with her books. AKA Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle.

Ah, TG&Y. That’s where I discovered Pocketbook editions of Agatha Christie mysteries when I was in Junior High, and I read them voraciously. If you’re a mystery fan, you can’t go wrong with this master. My first Agatha Christie: The Mystery of the Blue Train. My Favorite Agatha Christie: Endless Night. Most Disappointing Agatha Christie for me: They Do It With Mirrors.
Good Times.
