Mondays: Musings/Mailbox/What Are You Reading

How often do you read a book, just because you’re in the mood to read it?

All the time. I have stopped taking part in challenges, and review copies, I read at my own pace and own time.

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia at A Girl and Her Books. Leah from Amused by Books  is hosting for the month of September.

I received one novel, Altamont Augie by Richard Barager, thanks to the author. Altamont Augie is a startlingly vivid portrayal of one of the most colorful periods in recent American history: the 1960s, as seen through the eyes of two ill-fated college lovers at odds over Vietnam. Their story and the story of their generation spill onto a tableau of some of the era’s most iconic settings—the legendary Vietnam battleground of Khe Sanh; a Midwestern campus riven by dissent; and Altamont Speedway, scene of the notorious rock festival profiled in the film Gimme Shelter. To David Noble, the faltering war in Vietnam is a failure of national honor; to Jackie Lundquist it is a failure of national conscience. But neither her rise to fame as the antiwar movement’s alluring Radical Queen nor David’s defiant counter-protest activities in support of the war can extinguish their passion for one another. Their love endures, even while fighting on opposite sides of the defining issue of their time.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Sheila of Book Journey.

I am NOT able to read any novel.  Just can't...
