Funny you should post when you did. Tonight I'm going to start reading a book recommended by our priest, "Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Mary.....Unveiling the Mother of the Messiah." I consider it part of my Lenten reading/duties. Thumbed through it earlier, looks fascinating.

Thank you, Duke. I was looking for a book for Lent and just downloaded it on Kindle.

Sounds interesting, Duke! Do you like novels? I recently found a book that I first read at age seventeen, called 'David the King' by Gladys Schmitt. You might like it if you can find it.
Thanks, I'll look into that. I'm not much of a novel reader these days, but back when I was traveling all the time, I read more novels. My favorite novelists were historical fiction writers like Leon Uris, James Mitchner, Edward Rutherford, etc. Also like Joesph Heller. "Catch-22" changed my life, and the lives of a number USAF officers. Any officer who came to work for me I made read it.

I agree, 'Catch-22' was a great book! I also like James Mitchener's books as well.

I have the first three books of The Expanse series and one of these days i will finish them. I got pretty far into Leviathan Wakes but as life always has it, been busy. Since i watched the series first, it was pretty cool to have faces and settings to visualize while reading.

Currently re-reading 'The Odessa File,' by Frederick Forsyth. It's just as good as I remembered!
Oh, you hit on my fav. topic, reading. The great love of my life, next to horses and knitting is reading. I just finished the latest book in the Longmire series by Craig Johnson. The best writer ever in my opinion. The man can spin a story like no other. Someone turned me onto CJ Box's Joe Picket series. Joe is a game warden in Wyoming who gets drawn into solving crimes in the wilderness. This is now my latest binge read. I have powered through the first 13 books with 13 more to go to catch up to the newest release. I would recommend these two authors to anyone who likes adventure and mystery in a modern-day setting.
