Highlight of Sue's Day

I continue to read The Serpent's Tooth to my wife, Sue Hart, in her room at the assisted living place nearby. She loves the Craig Johnson novel, and is familiar with the characters, because she has read most of the Walt Longmire series. She also enjoyed them in the television version of the series. And of course the author is a cherished friend of hers.

I'm learning to relax my voice, but I still end up gravel-voiced after completing a chapter. Johnson is a gifted Viking novelist, who fills his stories with the unexpected. A streak of humor threads his novels, bringing smiles to Sue's lips.

I've discovered that reading a good novel to someone who can no longer read is one of the most rewarding things I've done.
