So sad for your family to have to see a loved one change like that. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your good wishes.<BR/><BR/>Yes, The Historian is long, I think I took about 7 or 8 days to read it but benefitted from the fact that my pc is down so more time to read. Amazing how much time your pc eats. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Chris: Thanks very much for your good thoughts, I appreciate it. I loved The Historian, a real joy of a book. And it's made me want to find out more about Eastern Europe, which I think is a real sign of a good book.<BR/><BR/>Booklogged: Thank you so much for your condolences and your lovely cyber-hug. Who knows, one day we may get to meet and I can give you a real one. :-)<BR/><BR/>Deslily: Thanks for your kind words... and for your lovely blog. I visit daily and always find something of interest or to amuse me. :-)<BR/><BR/>Hi Tara. It's so sad that there's so much more cancer around these days. Or at least there seems to be. And especially awful when people go long before their time. I see you understand about escaping with other people's blogs. The book people here always seem to have something of interest to say and I must say I always enjoy your posts. <BR/><BR/>Susan: Thanks for your kind words, I appreciate them very much and hope to be back soon with some thoughts about my current reads.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-84921764039306662402007-09-24T03:52:00.000+01:002007-09-24T03:52:00.000+01:00So sorry to hear about your SIL.

My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope you beat this cold soon and enjoy your holiday! Glad you enjoyed The Historian. It was great, wasn't it? It put me in the mood for some "travel reading" as well.

It's hard to know what to wish for. <BR/><BR/>I hope your holiday will be restful and rejuvenating. I'm glad to hear that you will do a review of The Historian. I keep meaning to read it but it's long and will take quite a commitment. <BR/><BR/>Take care of yourself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
