Hey John, good to see you my friend. Those 1950’s 3 book set look really interesting. I just got a book for my birthday a few days ago that is kind of an oddity like those, The Roosevelt Omnibus by Don Wharton, 1934 first edition. It had a lot of pictures and news paper cartoons from the 1930’s of Roosevelt. Anyway, I hope you’re doing good and hope you have a great Friday and weekend 🎉
Back in the '70's I read the sequel to Fletch, but have not read the original. The sequel I read was "Confess, Fletch". I was about 14 at the time, so don't remember much. I remember the movies, but haven't seen them, I have seen the play "Our Town" and liked it very much. Regarding poetry, I used to feel similar to what you describe. As I have gotten older with less attention span, I enjoy the brevity of most poetry and like that it can leave me with a feeling, emotional response, or memory after such a short investment of my time. Thanks for sharing your books 🙂
I hope someday I'll be able to appreciate poetry. I've liked what I've read, it just hasn't captivated me yet. I've read Fletch since I made this video and I'll be talking about it in my next wrap up. Thanks for watching!
Interesting acquisitions. Man, I envy you having convenient access to used books. I can order them of course, but I currently have to drive at least an hour to browse a decent used book store. I'm not the greatest poetry reader either, but on those rare occasions when a poem does hit home with me, it lingers as little else does. Odd the way that works.
I understand how that can be. My dad lives in Arkansas, there's one bookstore 25 miles down the interstate and another two about 75 miles in the other direction, and they're mostly disappointing on top of that
Macdonald might be more of a real shepherd?! I can relate to the issue of recalling the first paragraph, in this instance from Plath.

The Roosevelt Omnibus sounds like a pretty cool gift, and I hope you had a great birthday!
