The Bastard of Istanbul
Had book group this morning and discussed this book. Like Neighbor A said, it’s better after discussing it than it was actually reading it! Very interesting, though, about a culture or cultures I know nothing about (Armenian & Turkish). My problem-and predjudice-is with names I can’t pronounce. If I can’t hear them in my head, I don’t remember who’s who.
The next book we’re reading is “Let the Great World Spin.” It’s set in New York, so I should be able to pronounce most of the names!
Last night was pretty slow for a Friday. I finished reading “Bastard,” started reading Koontz’s “Breathless” and got April & May reconciled in Quicken. Weather was nicer today so tght onimay be busier.
Ate dinner at Neighbor A's. She’s decided that she should cook me dinner on book group days so I have more time to sleep. They grilled lamb chops and I actually liked them. Didn’t think I liked lamb.
I’m still keeping the boys separate. Sure wish they’d stop the squabbling. Neighbor B said Reggie was pretty good today, although when they encountered any dogs, if Sassy growled at them, Reggie wanted to fight them. Guess it’s a matter of she starts it and he wants to finish it.
Tired. Only 5 hours of sleep. Well, I did nap for an hour or so when I first got home, before we went to work out and go to book group. Still, not enough.
