Cato's Book: A Christmas Present?

[Cato]

Some years ago, I wrote a series of three short novels designed for ages 12 and up.

They are now available in one volume for 1/3rd the price!

A Diary Found at Lynchburg is a satire on American life focused on a high school bewitched by a murder mystery.

Narrated by an unknown student of eccentric intelligence, the story is at turns intriguing, humorous, sarcastic, dramatic, and of course mysterious, everything one would want in a mystery novel!

You undoubtedly would like to give the gift of Reading to many people: your support would be greatly appreciated. 

The trilogy (Why Begins With W, Dial Emma for Murder, Hex High School), when it was three separate books, had only 5-star reviews!

Warmly recommended by me.

I periodically re-read it. It's engaging, witty and (like Madeleine L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time) although nominally aimed at young adults, of sufficient specific gravity for the appreciation of no-longer-young adults.

No kindle edition?

Let me greatly thank Karl for his support throughout the years!

And many thanks also to anyone who recently bought the book!

Better summer reading than the average!

In fact, it's time for me to re-read it myself!

[(poco) Sforzando]

I must buy a copy.

[DavidW]

It is still sitting on my shelf, time to pull it out!  I get easily distracted.  I have one library ebook checkout I'm reading along with three physical ones queued up.

Just re-started. I find new bits in it each time. How does that work?

Distractions are the dancing devil 😇 of our electronic age!

Thanks in advance for reading!

I think it has to do with our own passage through Life: the book obviously is static, but perhaps our minds change in different ways throughout the years, so that the book is interpreted or viewed differently, or so that things, which we did not notice 5 or 10 years earlier, are now flashing at us because of our more mature, more observant natures.

When I was teaching German, I had my 4th-year students read Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain (Der Zauberberg) (in English: excerpts in German were given also).

I asked them to consider re-reading the book every 10 years or so, with the observation that it was my experience that the book will be understood more deeply as one ages.

I'm reading the original incarnation as the three-volume Time Capsule Murders. Just finished Why Begins With W ... and on to Dial Emma for Murder.

[DavidW]

I'm starting it now.

Many thanks!

Yes, thank you again!

I should explain that the book was originally published as 3 smaller books of c. 120 pages or so: Why Begins With W, Dial Emma for Murder, and Hex High School.

As one volume now, it is priced at 2/3 of the original cost, depending on how you bought it.

It just occurs to me that my PT has a daughter of an age which is the book's prime demographic. A gift copy is in order.
