"In Moscow, the summer night looks like fire and smoke."
-- Red Square by Martin Cruz Smith
This is the "red" book on my Colorful Reading Challenge list. Before May 1, when I dive into the three books I'm reading for my own Battle of the Prizes challenge, I want to make a little headway on my Colorful list.
Also, I am looking forward to an entertaining mystery after finishing the excellent but dense Basil's Dream. Hey . . . if Rebecca at Lost in Books counted wall paint colors, that one would count as a Colorful book too!

Thank you for directing me to the Wodehouse article. I read it last night. I was surprised to learn that for a short time in America he published under his full name instead of P.G. And the meaning of Wodehouse...how unfortunate:)
ReplyDeleteAnd I learned that the P in Psmith is silent. Doh!
