I decided to read a 'P'lay 'The Perisians by Aeschylus. It was a quick read.<br />Letter Z: Zadie Smith....is said to be one of the 10 most inspiring female writers one needs to read. So thank you for bring her to my attention with your ABC. I was looking for a book of short stories by ZS but can't find them in book form. I did find 12 in issues of The New Yorker Magazine written between 2002 - 2017! So I'm looking forward to these reads!<br />NancyElinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15021569006682648126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1483877654474162845.post-71791794903180448802017-09-01T18:58:28.158+10:002017-09-01T18:58:28.158+10:00Letter F: the football (soccer) World Cup dreams ...Letter F: the football (soccer) World Cup dreams are just about over for The Netherlands. They crashed and burned against the superiour French (0-4, ouch!). In 2014 NL was 3rd in overall standings...now we can't even qualify!<br />Letter U: We went from 28 C in a sweltering heat wave on Tuesday to a shivering 8 C last night.

Less calories....and my mind slowly glides into a feeling of 'Zen'.<br />Letter V: No Vietnamese food in my neighborhood....so I ordered a book by an immigrant from Vietnam to Canada retelling her experiences. Aki Shamizaki wrote 5 short novella's about her journey and I am starting with Tsubaki (1999).
