Sunday Salon: Keeping the pulse of time…

…and it’s not going too fast here today.

I’m at my parents’ house for the Memorial Day Weekend, and I’m battling allergies that even generic Zyrtec and generic Tylenol Sinus aren’t defeating. So from my list of books with which I started here, I only have read from one: The Secret Pulse of Time: Making Sense of Life’s Scarcest Commodity by Stefan Klein, and not that much. The book is split into three parts, and I just finished Part I earlier this afternoon. So far, so good, even if I’m not getting to read as much as I wanted to read.

But (bonus!) I was able to pick up a few books that I’ve left in my parents’ basement for too long, including one, Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe, which is a book for one of my challenges. Other books I picked up today to add to my TBR list (like I really need more?):

• A Death In The Family by James Agee
• Out of Africa and Shadows on the Grass by Isak Dinesen
• The Winter of Our Discontent by John Steinbeck
• The Gulag Archipelago by Aleksander I. Solzhenistysn
• The First Circle by Aleksander I. Solzhenistyn.

Hopefully, next Sunday will be more productive on the Sunday Salon front.
