Been unable to read much lately...developed floaters and flashers in my good eye, and one particularly pronounced one sits right in the focal point of my reading sweet spot, making reading difficult...thinking about books on tape, but I like to hold a book and turn pages...

The Gambler by Dostoevsky.

Thought it would be more interesting cause Dostoevsky was a serious, addicted gambler.

Maybe it'll get better.

Ernie!

may have read that years ago, but for sure I read My Name is Asher Lev.

He has a way of telling stories of the human condition and relationships while using a very strictly defined pool of characters. People whom one does not normally picture when thinking about others in situations common to all, but his people are just colored by circumstances of birth and belief.

One of the most powerful last 4-5 pages of a book I've read in a long time. The relationships between fathers and sons was truly wonderful.

Just finished Cannery Row by John Steinbeck. Somehow I missed many of these American classics when I was a kid.
