The Alexandrian Quartet

I have just started reading "JUSTINE" (the first book in the quartet) again. I think this is the 6th time. It really is a very worthwhile read if a little difficult at the beginning. I read it for the first time when I was recommended it while in a shop in Torremolinos. The site below might help expalin a little about it. http://www.mellenpress.com/mellenpress.cfm?bookid=6100&pc=9

I did read James Michener's "THE DRIFTERS" at the same time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Drifters_(novel)

After twenty five years of waiting, I managed to travel to Alexandria. It had all the charm I had imagined. I actually wrote two songs about Egypt. Will have them on another BLOG later.
