Nadeem Aslam's new book, The Golden Legend that is so delicious I'm reading it slowly to be able to savour it fully. So what do I do for the rest of my bedtime reading time, but read another book alongside 'Please Look after Mom' by Korean author Kyung Sook Shin.

After I wrote a fairly lengthy response, darned if the Internet didn't go out on me just as I was about to hit "publish."<br /><br />If at first you don't succeed...<br /><br />It sounds like you had an amazing trip! The Outback has a somewhat romantic aura about it to me, but I'm sure it's way too rugged for someone like me. Besides, Crocodile Dundee is probably nowhere to be found...<br /><br />For me, Facebook is a necessary evil. That's how my kids and grandkids communicate, so if I want to know what's going on with them, that's where I've got to go. I must admit, though, it has also enabled me to reconnect with a LOT of people I hadn't heard from in many many years. So that's good, right? Right!<br /><br />As for authors constantly trying to hawk their books on Facebook, Twitter, Blogger or whatever other online platforms they inhabit, that gets really old really fast. To me, it's about making potential connections with people, not about potential book sales. (But if you want to buy my book, I wouldn't get mad! HA!) <br />Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362528912516506170.post-49337862078236560082017-03-17T07:12:54.198+10:002017-03-17T07:12:54.198+10:00You're right.
