Did Not Finish

I try to finish the books I begin, but occasionally find that the stories are not to my liking, and decide to put the book aside. I had read Justin Cronin's The Summer Guest and enjoyed it very much, so was looking forward to reading his much-acclaimed The Passage. I read about 75 pages and realized that it was going to be a futuristic story about world-changing events that sounded pretty awful to me. So I stopped reading and handed it off to Bill who likes books of that sort. We'll see what he thinks of it!

I recently received Elizabeth George's latest book with Lynley and Havers from The Book Depository. Having read a few favorable reviews I decided it would be next on my list. I'm now well into it, and think it will be a Finished book, rather than a DNF!

On another topic Bill and I had a very nice trip last week to the middle part of Oregon. We stopped to take a picture of the Weddle covered bridge in Sweet Home, and then spent the night in Sisters. Don't you love Oregon city names? The next day we traveled to Bend and another covered bridge. (Bill is determined to photograph all of Oregon's covered bridges!) That night we went to the little village of Dufur. Dufur is in the wheat area of Oregon about fifteen miles south of the Columbia River. We stayed in the old hotel there that has been refurbished, and is very nice.

I wrote this posting over a year ago, and somehow never got back to it. Talk about DNF!
