Newly joined, or should I say re-joined , was a member a lot of years ago but lapsed. 86, retired but full time carer for my wife of 90 who unfortunately has dementia.


My interests, playing a keyboard, badly these days, hands aren't what they were. but the wife thinks I play marvellously. It helps that she's deaf. I also am an avid reader. I have a Kindle and buy from Amazon but must confess my go to books are old favourites many of fifty years or more.


Would like to hear from anyone who is interested in the older authors. As you may appreciate, whilst I am with my wife 24/7 her ability to converse is extremely limited and chatting generally is something I miss. We are somewhat isolated. We have family, most live away and have their own lives to live. Enough of my moans, Look forward to a chat with some of you. briber

Who do you consider to be "older authors", briber? Are we talking the classics here?
