Shaking hand with the clock I can’t stop

Welcome to the first Lockup Library Book Club. We’re reading The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. First published in June 2005. Its her first book. And, it’s my first reading of this book.

Shawshank, October 7, 2020

We mustn’t dwell. No, not today. We can’t! Not on Rex Manning day! Now listen, I know it’s not actually Rex Manning day today. But whenever I feel a little down, I make believe it is Rex Manning day, and I feel better. If I knew how to post YouTube videos here, you’d probably be…
