As the September calendar page beckons, all those 'summer reads' will soon be obsolete - until next spring, that is, when the chatter begins anew of beach bag-thrillers, airplane page-turners, poolside 'literature' and my wishlist for the planned pleasure of losing myself in a myriad of readable thoughts reignites. Must admit that I am enjoying giving this last official weekend of summer up to "The Boys in the Boat". Sorry stacks of huge fall fashion 'zines.

Daniel James Brown's "Boys in the Boat" is truly cinematic. Please read link below, an announcement from 2011, before book was even published, when Weinsteins bought the rights to make the movie with Kenneth Branagh directing. Most fascinating in this link: a 4 minute video with the 1936 Olympic race... please watch it! The eight man race follows the four man race.

PS Dreamy about those fireside tales, teatime tomes, and dark, early-evening reading fests....
