Quite a few books considering blurry vision and eye surgery. One (by Jeffers) was 800 pages and well worth the time and energy spent reading it. Cuba, another good read, was over 550 pages. The first four on the fiction list were outstanding. The next pretty good. I enjoyed the poetry. I also had some fun exploring on Gutenberg. Only dud this month was Maud Dixon.
