“in 1964, President Lyndon B Johnson, backed by a unanimous Congress, proclaimed 9 October to be Leif Erikson Day, in commemoration of the first arrival of a European on North American soil.” —BBC History
So, in honor of Leif Erikson and all those Viking-types, I’ve ordered these two books by Lars Walker of Brandywine Books. Cheapskate that I am, I was still hoping to check them out of the library before committing myself to spending actual money. But if I’m going to read them , I’ll just have to buy them. I’ll tell you how they were when I get them read.

The books you mention tend to be intriguing, Sherry. I haven’t read anything by Walker, so I’m curious to hear what you make of him.
On a related issue, I’m hoping you’ll take part in this book challenge related to a discussion you were part of earlier…”What makes a book ‘great?'”

On a related note, I’m hoping you’ll take part in this book challenge that spun off from an earlier discussion you were part of: “What makes a book ‘great?'”
The newer discussion has to do with how a book ends up “standing the test of time.”
