I'm been in a bit of a reading slump. I've started 4 books and just haven't moved through them. Don't get me wrong, i plan to finish all 4 but I've just had trouble getting going. Sometimes this happens and I just need to power through one and I'll be back on track.
But, in the meantime, let's talk about books!
I was in NYC for work a couple of weeks ago and got there a day early to play in the city. One of the things I did was visit the Morgan Library and Museum. It is JP Morgan's library and it is pretty spectacular. He was a book collector and you can walk through the library and view the collects and hear an audio tour of the building and his collections. Not only was it absolutely beautiful but there was also a Tolkien Exhibit to see. No photos allowed :( but it was cool to see the art work and photos of his life.
That night I met with 2 dear high school friends at the Algonquin hotel. It was so fun to catch up and I saw the round table! If you don't know what i'm talking about -- Dorothy Parker (Writer, poet) was a founding member of the Algonquin Round Table. It was a group of writers who would lunch at the hotel almost daily . Look it up!
Love visiting NYC. So full of literary references.
I have 3 books on my Kindle right now so hopefully next week I can post an actual review! Wish me luck.
