An introduction to English.

Come to think of it, I live alone most of the time. I can pretend on any given day that I live on a desert island. I don't have to leave the house. I can avoid human contact if I so choose. I have my books to keep me alive. Read a Kurt Vonnegut book over the weekend. In its entirety. "A Man Without a Country." It's only 145 pages. An easy read. Written in a casual manner. The way I like to write. Now I'm on a Henry Miller book. Called "Sextet." A collection of essays, more or less. The first one is reflections on him turning 80 years old. Very nice. Again, I like Miller's style. Informal. A nice way to introduce people to the English language, American-style. --Jim Broede
