March

March is the story of the absent father of Louise May Alcott’s Little Women. It is of the time he spent in the south during the civil war and it often flashes back to the family at home. He doesn’t believe in killing and when he has an opportunity to kill the enemy to save a black man he doesn’t and is filled with guilt because of this. He starts out as a sales man but becomes a preacher before entering the war. I found this one of the better books I have read and highly recommend it.

I have the book Run by Pratchett (I am not sure of that spelling) but it is by the author of Bel Canto which I liked. Run is our library book group book. I will try to read it while traveling to WI and while there. I leave Wednesday. I am hoping my trip there goes better than the last time I flew there when luggage didn’t come etc. I will try to carry on this time and take as little as possible. This time of year you can’t tell what the weather will be like but as my daughter says, “there is always Walmart”.
