This fall, I plan on tackling Edmund Wilson's book on the Dead Sea Scrolls.

That's not weird. If anything, that is really cool you can read music like that. (And way over my head
)

It's actually kind of interesting, believe it or not! 
I'm also reading "Shattered" by Dean Koontz - this is from 1973, well before he got famous; and I'm re-reading "Treasure Island," which is a lot of fun to "revisit."  |
I love to read history and Ben Franklin is one of my favorite figures!
I'm not huge into Dean Koontz but once I read a novel of his called "The Strangers", such an intense, good read if you ever get the chance. Revisiting "Treasure Island" sounds fun, love that one
