I snagged a copy of Professional Cooking by Wayne Glisslen at a thrift store awhile back. I'm on chapter 3.
Snoopy looked hang dog because the light was keeping him awake. The sticker on the bottom of the dog house reads "I'm allergic to morning" but, like me, Snoopy will sleep any chance he gets.
I'm currently reading A FAREWELL TO ARMS (1929) by Ernest Hemingway. I'm a senior citizen catching up on classic 20th Century novels that I didn't read when I was younger. Reading GRAPES OF WRATH got me started on catching up. You are never to old to improve your mind.
Guess that's what I'm doing, too, Max. I began with some of Mark Twain's works after enjoying a recent PBS series about him. That sort of got the ball rolling and I've really had a good time reading things I've heard about all my life but never read.
One cool thing about classics is that they're out of copyright, so you can download them for free to read on an electronic device. I started reading the complete Sherlock Holmes last winter, then got away from it for a while. I'll get back to it when it's colder and I have more time for uninterrupted reading.
I used to feel that way until I bought my Kindle. There are a number of sites to get books free or at low cost and I have about 70 books backed up right now.I doubt that I'll ever succumb to reading by way of an electronic device. I much, much prefer turning a page. I've just given in to audio books and only because listening to a book via audio I can pursue another of my favorite activities, such as knitting or crocheting.
Fortunately, too, our regional library is quite good and I have no trouble acquiring any book I might wish to read.
