“Parsifal - the kind of opera that starts at six o'clock and after it has been going three hours, you look at your watch and it says 6:20” - David Randolph
TODAY'S BOOK:
Opera Cats by Susan Herbert
I love cats - everybody who's known me for longer than a chance meeting, knows that. The result is a large collection of cat figurines and illustrations of cats on objects - but also dozens of books about cats around my house.
Some of these deal with cat breeds or the care of your cat, but many of them are small books with sayings, stories and quotes - many of them gifts friends and family. I enjoy them greatly. This one by well-known artist Susan Herbert and which I received as a Christmas gift from my sister some years ago, deserves special mention - because most people who know me, also know I love music and opera (not all opera though - like David Randolph I don't much like Wagner's over-long operas and only really enjoy The Flying Dutchman).
