My own book...

I wonder whether I can put all my writings in a format that is easily accessible to me on a notebook, computer or nook... or whatever. A way in which I can retrieve my works by title, key word, phrase, etc. ...without internet...

I could make paper copies but only of the very best as I can't imagine lugging 500 poems around the world with me. Space and weight are important when traveling.

Any thoughts on which would be best? Even alternatives would help at this point.

ME:

Always stressed out. Still stressed out.

But, I went to the Spanish group and getting out of my place really does help. Still too smoky to go for walks.

At the group I looked at the guide to Southern Africa. Virginia wants to visit Namibia in their spring (October, November). That would be soon. Autumn would be another good choice (April). There's a train from Capetown through Elizabeth Town, New London to Durban and Jo-burg. I'm tempted myself.

Then V, Liliane and I talked about their visit to India: Kerala, Goa, Jaipur (both), Kalkut, Sikkim (both; special visa needed), Darjeeling. That too is tempting.

It's great being here in Missoula except for the un-breathable air. It's been bordering on hazardous. The air in the library is nice though.

Somerset Maugham's "The Razor's Edge". Published in 1944 it bears the disclaimer "This book has not been condensed. Its bulk is less, because government regulations prohibit use of heavier paper." A different world almost 70 years ago... And the novel itself takes place in the years just after WWI... so around 1920. So far the themes of class, conformity and intellectual pursuit are at the forefront. Good read at a great price (free on the recycle shelves at the library).

I didn't read so much in Costa Rica. Did other things. It's like when I'm on vacation... don't read much literature... too involved with people and figuring out what I'm doing and doing next. A nookish tablet with printed titles may help. But... I'm not that interested in what "other people" generally read. I'm quite quirky in that way. I want Vesaas, Tagore... even some YA when I just want an easy pleasurable read.
