Ada Lovelace was Lord Byron's daughter and is considered among the giants who predicted the digital age....back in the 1800's!😇

Just finished Jonathan Franzen's "Purity" and not quite sure whether I liked it or not. Would be interested in others' opinions. Also just finished Louise Penny's 10th or 11th Inspector Gamache novel. I feel like Three Pines is my second home, AND am reading Lee Childs' latest Jack Reacher novel. (Two 8-hour trans-Atlantic flights, so I did a LOT of Kindle reading!)

Glennie, I thoroughly enjoyed that book. Was touching on several levels. Came away with the same feeling I had from The Book Thief

Read Go Set a Watchman. Must say I did like it. Could see why it was not picked up at the time of its submission. Wasn't going to read it until I read an article from The New York Times.

You can have your cake and eat it too

Read The Girl on the Train last week. I could not put it down so needless to say I was up most of the night. Great book but don't start it in the late afternoon.

Liked Girl on a Train a lot better than Gone Girl. Good Read.

Agreed. Didn't care for Gone Girl at all.

Just finished a cute "fluff" book - Brown Owl's Guide to Life by Kate Harrison. The author is British and the book reunites 5 girls who were in Brownie Scouts together after their one time leader (Brown Owl) dies. I was just astounded all the memories that surfaced from my own years as a Brownie - age 8 & 9 - while reading the book. Even turning 3 times by the 'pond' when making the pledge. Not to mention earning the badges. Oh, and the different girls personalities in each group & how they turn out as adults. There are some differences between the British & American Scout programs, but this was a light, fun read.

VR - Interesting article. Thanks for the link
