When I was a kid I bought every single one of his books as soon as they came out. <br /><br />Good times.

I'm a sucker for novels that teach me something and send me into history books seeking out the real story. Then I read his <i>Education of a Wandering Man</i> and was totally charmed. He was man who always had a book with him. Haven't read anything else by him, but Mom, in her dementia, has worn out two of his Sackett novels in what I term comfort reading. I had a major twinge of guilt when I trashed one, even knowing she wouldn't remember it.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623422545436294378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717986195212622043.post-57876842367436819642017-01-09T14:26:21.706-05:002017-01-09T14:26:21.706-05:00It is indeed Louie.

This has been a result of character and fortitude. In other, perhaps broader areas of life, I have been a flop.
