The time is flying by - it is already May for some regular posters. The thing is, I had barely got the hang of April, and there it is - gone!
I’ve just finished the omnibus edition ‘The Young Hornblower’, comprising the first three novels of the series. I still find them enjoyable, though I do find myself wondering about the character of Mrs. Maria Hornblower. I think if this manuscript arrived on the desk of a modern editor, she’d be cut or modified in very short order.
I’ve just started Martha Grimes’ ‘Foul Matter’, a delicious satire of the state of the publishing industry. It’s wonderful!
Our last month’s thread can be found here.
And you - whatcha readin’?
For those who have just come in, these threads are named in honour of a long-time doper who passed away in January this year. Khadaji was a warm and supportive poster who always had words of encouragement for others. He was also a voracious reader with eclectic tastes. He loved to discuss books we’ve read, books on the ‘to be read’ pile and books we’re reading right now. We decided to continue the threads as a way to remember someone very dear to the Straight Dope Message Board community.
