June 2008: Mr Blue, by Myles Connolly


The mysterious and magnetic J. Blue spends his inherited wealth as soon as he gets it and lives in a packing box on a New York City rooftop. This beloved novel about a contemporary St. Francis figure, first published in 1928, has intrigued countless readers for decades.

Okay, I'm halfway through this book, and while I like the premise and the message, I'm having a hard time staying with it. It just isn't holding my interest. It could be that it's the language and style of the time period it was written in -- 1928.

However, I haven't finished it yet, so things may change as I read more today.

Sorry I can't be there today. Have fun!
