Welcome to Litsy!

Who shall deny the excitement of entering a strange city for the first time? Or going ashore in a strange port?
. . .
Evil comes often to a man with money; tyranny comes surely to him without it.

Listening to an audiobook while threading the heddles. I've never used a loom like this before, but so far so good! This book is a great guide!

Goodness, what a beginning! Rereading The Walking Drum and I forgot how exciting it was!

Omg one of my FAVE books ever is on sale as an ebook. I think it‘s the only non-western L‘Amour ever wrote and I always wished he‘d written more like this. I have two copies but I‘m going to have to buy the ebook too. One can‘t have too many copies of a favorite!!!

Should work for #readingasia2021 as well, another excuse to reread it.

1. No
2. Tagged. LL wrote so many westerns! Why oh why didn‘t he write a sequel to this brilliant book?
3. Yes; print. I used to work for newspapers and a magazine so I‘m old-school.
4. Yeah
5. Yes, as many as I can

Hello!

If you thought L‘amour only wrote westerns, think again...this is a top ten book: a glorious adventure set during the Golden Age of Islam, very similar to my fave book of all time, The Black Rose by Thomas Costain. Saw this copy at HPB in beautiful condition and snapped it up, like I do when I see copies of The Black Rose. Probably never to be reprinted, so absolutely buy it when you see it. If only he‘d written a sequel. It‘s glorious. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

One of my all-time favs!!!
Probably in my Top 10!
