The Estuary Pilgrim

While looking for a copy of The Last Empress, I decided to pick some titles in my egging tower list of reading backlogs. I initially wanted to buy a new book earlier, but due to more pressing circumstances, thanks to Bruce, I decided to just pick from one of my collections yet to be read.

There were lots of titles to choose from and I even ventured into the possibility of going for  teen-fantasy.

But I ended up choosing to read one of the stories from a Readers' Digest volume I brought a month ago. I just love Readers' Digest condensed book volumes. I get to read great stories ranging from popular fiction to memoirs. Thanks to Readers' Digest, I discovered the joys of reading Robin Cook (Harmful Intent) and James Clavell (The Noble House). Readers' Digest has introduced me to great mainstream writers without the need to spend so much. 100 bucks for 5 stories, great deal!

I think have more than 10 volumes of Readers' Digest in my collection. They're my savior for quick and good reads.

For tonight, I pick Douglas Skeggs' The Estuary Pilgrim. Synopsis is interesting enough. It involves stolen art and trying to keep it that way during the end of the early world war. The plot reminds me of Ken Folliet's Modigliani Scandal, which I enjoyed. In any case, it's a promising art suspense.
