Tell me about a great book you've read recently.

Since I don’t have TV per se I do read a lot. I like Fantasy, Mysteries, and Science Fiction the most. I finished “Elantris”  by Brandon Sanderson recently. Very unusual fantasy but he is a great writer and totally draws you into the story which has lots of twists and turns. He was selected by Robert Jordan to finish the epic series “The Wheel of Time”. He has done a masterful job in completing this series which has spanned 20 some years. He is a master at description and dialog and makes you feel like you are present, part of the story. I have thoroughly enjoyed all his writings and have been reading through all his published works! Highly recommend the read!

I am almost 100 pages into Redford which is an authorized biography of Robert Redford.  I am continually amazed at the number of commonalities in our lives so far (apart from the Hollywood aspect) and the difficulties he and his family endured.

Also, the biographer’s use of certain words mandates that I keep a dictionary close by so I can annotate their meanings in the margins of the page.  Fugacious, for instance, “passing away quickly, evanescent, withering”.
