I always am glad to get home. As the saying goes, “home is where I hang my hat”, and for me that is David. Apparently the weather was the same in David as in Panama City. I don’t remember any rain for the entire time I was there.
I took two books to read and only [...]

I hadn’t noticed, but apparently El Rey has recently put in a display from Exedra Books in Panama. It didn’t have many books and you get to pay $10.00 for an $8.00 book, but I guess if you want a book that no one else has read, maybe it is worth it to you. Personally [...]

I have seen the Public Library several times and have never taken its photo or stopped to look inside. Today I did both. This library is located on the street behind the Municipial Building pictured below.
I asked if they had any books in English. I found out that the only English books are [...]

Someone recently emailed me for some contact information for Dr. Mario José Molina Castilla because they had an interest in the book on David that he had authored. You can see it if you are in David at La Casona de David.
Since my friend Jerry was in town yesterday and wanted to find out where [...]

Not really a problem since I brought several books. Currently I am reading “Golden Buddha”. It is the first Clive [...]

A special thank you goes out to Sharon and Ken for bringing The Innocent Man down from Oklahoma.
Now I just need to plan on when I want to read it. I will probably spend some time in Panama City for Christmas and I always need several books in the queue.

Hal sent me an email the other day and said he now has all of his shelves in the new addition. Since I had access to a car today, I drove up to Dolega. When I got there, I saw that Dolega was having its own celebration. Traffic slowed down but luckily it didn’t stop. [...]

I received an email from Hal at the BOOKMARK this morning. As you probably remember from my previous post, Hal has enlarged the BOOKMARK to provide more space to exhibit the books better. As Hal has noticed, it has been a while since I have been to the BookMark and I am running a little [...]

One of my favorite authors (John Grisham) has a new book coming out on October 10. This book is a non-fiction book and is described as exploring a small town justice gone awry. Since it takes place in southeast Oklahoma around Ada, it will go on my “Must Be Read” list. I wonder who I [...]
