There’s something about the sky and the light in October…the retreating days…the cooling ground…the twilight that seems to last forever…the falling leaves.
It makes one contemplative and thinking about taking inventory.
Here I have made a list of my favorite novels of all time:
10. The Prince of Whales, R. L. Fisher (1986)
