    I included that quote because it spoke to me too!

    Never too late to start a thread on books I’ve enjoyed this year. 1. The Golden Thread by was a fascinating look at the mystery surrounding UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld’s death in 1961 & all the powers that be that had monetary interests in Congo’s resources

    Ha! I had never heard this song. But Mr. Nestor is on to something.

    While reading excellent book, The Golden Thread, about the mysterious death of Dag Hammarskjold, I came upon this gem about Jem Mace and Jim Corbett. The book reads like a song, especially Roland.

    Thanks to for a kind, perceptive review of The Golden Thread. “Readers of later-stage John le Carré... will recognize the Congo at the dawn of the 1960s.”

    “Reading is a wonderful thing and to ever suggest to anyone that what they are reading is silly and not worth it I think is a terrible disservice to the idea of reading. People should read whatever makes them happy.”
