What books have you recently read that I too should read?
Him David.
It’s always chancy to recommend books to people you barely know, but throwing that caution to the wind, I really enjoyed Lady Clementine by Marie Benedict.
It’s a very fine novel of important figures (Winston and Clementine Churchill) in important days with balanced, astute psychological insight into characters, motivations, and situations. It has the feel of truth.
Thanks for throwing caution to the wind! Sounds like something I would enjoy and would not have discovered on my own.
And, thanks for making the time to read and comment on one of my posts.
Regarding your suggestion of a PRINT MY BLOG plugin improvement, I concur. Mike amazingly responded to one of my suggestions (being able to place the buttons at the bottom of the post), wrote the code, and sent me a copy of the zipped plugin ready to be installed as version 2.80.
