Reading Thread 08/10/2025

HA!

Hahahahahaha HA!

Man, did you guys 'n gals ever draw the short straw by getting your ol' pal Weasel as an interim host!

Howdy Readers! Welcome to the Reading Thread, your Sunday morning source for the insightful, yet lively and spirited discussion of books 'n stuff. I'm filling in for a while as this space re-invents itself under new management, so please set your near-term expectations accordingly low.

Anyhoo...

What do we have this week? Why, it's none other than Sergeant Dick of the Royal Mounted Police - A Thrilling Story of the Canadian Woods, written by John G. Rowe. and originally published in 1929. Yes, an actual book for this inaugural Reading Thread but be forewarned, the longer I do this, you may not be so fortunate.

Why did I pick this particular book you ask? Well, mostly because I liked the title. Actually, I picked Sgt. Dick almost entirely based on the title and also the cover photo. Even with our hero losing his hat in the first few minutes of the story, something no self-respecting American cowboy or lawman would allow, it does otherwise seem good so I hope you like it. Feel free to discuss reading and books in general and share your thoughts on this week's selection if you're so inclined.

I know you're just as excited as I am, so just jump below the fold to get started!

Apologies to our non-readers, the electronic version does not come with the original illustrations.

So that's it for now, guys and gals. Come to class next week prepared to discuss reading 'n stuff, and remember, Reading is FUNdamental!
