"But none of us cared for Bazaine. We began to talk about the Mask, and then diverged to Kaspar Hauser, finally ending with Eleazer Williams, of "Have we a Bourbon among us?" who had to be explained to the Englishmen."
"What shall we call thee? Shall we give our ownPlain English vowels to thee, fair Mentone?"Or shall we yield thee back thy patrimony,The lost Italian sweetness of Mentone?"Or, with French accent, and the n's half gone,Try the Parisian syllables—Men-ton?"

Some good reading this month although I fell behind on the Two Month Review reading of The Remembered Part. I did listen to the podcasts.
I'm trying to get back to reading things on Project Gutenberg. I'm aiming for at least one a month.

All from the library this month--except.... I started one from my personal collection: The Remembered Part by Rodrigo Fresán. This will be a slow read as I will read along with publisher Chad Post and his friends on the Two Month Review. Actually this seems to be Three Month Review as it runs until August 2. Fair enough for 760 pages!

I had a really good reading month although I didn't get to the two ARCs I meant to read. I had also intended to get to some of my Kindle backup but that didn't happen.

Sort of a mish-mash this month. Managed to make some progress on my Kindle backlog. I really don't mind reading on Kindle but I frequently forget I have it and usually have no idea what's on it. Usually I manage to read it in waiting rooms and I spent a lot of time this month in both hospital and car repair waiting rooms. Managed to read while the car was being repaired. I was unable to concentrate at the hospital so I took a rather long walk.

This did not hold my interest at all. After several starts (and setting asides) I finally read about 100 pages and gave up. I felt like I was at someone else's class reunion and everybody was talking about people I didn't know nor care to know. I left early.
