I've still managed to resist getting myself a copy.<br /><br /><b>Janet</b> - That is hard! Hopefully you'll get to the point where you can read a bit or watch a show soon. :-)<br /><br /><b>Frances Hunter</b> - Grann's book does sound good. I have another one of his sitting on my shelf. It's a collection of essays he's written over the years. Fawcett's book also sounds interesting. That's such a fascinating time period.<br /><br /><b>Stacy</b> - Has being a part of the challenge helped you to read more short stories?

We celebrated my husband's Saturday since his family returned home Sunday. I did take him out to dinner on Monday night though, just the two of us. :-)<br /><br /><b>Christine</b> - Haha! My husband thought up that one and I couldn't resist using it. :-)<br /><br /><b>Lisa</b> - It sounds like it will be a good one.<br /><br /><b>Wisteria</b> - I can't let the book get wet, right?Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-15835807812569540752010-06-09T14:16:31.751-07:002010-06-09T14:16:31.751-07:00Dolcebellezza - I don't recall the mosquitoes ...<b>Dolcebellezza</b> - I don't recall the mosquitoes being a big problem when we were camping in the woods, thank goodness. Except at night. They were all attracted to the lantern we used. :-S<br /><br /><b>Billy</b> - I like a good cozy used bookstore best. :-)<br /><br /><b>Jill</b> - I'm starting to read more essay collections along with the short stories. It'll be interesting to see how that goes.<br /><br /><b>Ann Marie</b> - Thank you! I hope you're having a great week.<br /><br /><b>Iliana</b> - I thought so too! We had a very nice visit with the in-laws, and hubby seemed happy with his birthday celebrations. :-) I hope you enjoyed your visit with your friend.<br /><br /><b>Staci</b> - Oh, yes!

Grann's description of the exploration of the Amazon by Percy Fawcett has greatly whetting my "Waiting On" appetite for "1491," the story of Indian life before the arrival of Europeans.
