27. My night-time reading:
Tue Apr 18, 2017, 03:05 PM
Apr 2017

I have three books going: reading alternatively according to what kind of day I've had: Jacqueline Winspear's series about a British woman private investigator, Maisie Dobbs, goes through era between two world wars, and now beginning of WW2 In This Grave Hour. Light but interesting period to me.

An Improbable Friendship The Remarkable Lives of Israeli Ruth Dayan and Palestinian Raywanda Tawil, by Anthony David. True story - have learned a lot about the period of founding of Israel after WW3, the exile of the Arabs. Very interesting to me.

Free to be Me biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Amazingly brilliant woman. Hope she lives many more years.
