hi Quietbeauty21
Quiet Flows The Don by Mikhail Sholokov - won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1965.

The novel is considered one of the most significant works of Russian literature in the 20th century. It depicts the lives and struggles of Don Cossacks during the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and Russian Civil War.
Best wishes

Conversations With God
I will fear no evil and stranger in a strange land. Both by Heinlein, both got me in different ways, and both are pretty flawed, but even though I never read to sir with love, they both sort of "took me from crayons to perfume."
At 60. I have yet to find one that has. "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale and the new rehash of it. "The Secret" come close.

@ButterRobot hmmm ... in the form of letters, reviews sounds interesting. Tell us more, ofc if you can about what had been your takeaway from the compilation.

As a book, i think it gives you an interesting perspective on good and evil. Irrespective of whether you are of faith or not.
@ButterRobot Okay! I'll check on the reviews closely, bookmarked. 👍

Hamlet & then the film directed by & starring Kenneth Branagh, they opened up my mind to words & meaning, where before I had little interest in them & only a passive understanding if anything spoken or written.
