I do remember a previous post with a 1950s list, but couldn't remember if you'd read them all.<br /><br />Yes, Myrna Loy and her elaborate colour descriptions, then the painter says something like, white, blue, yellow...very funny!Harikliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903665223912820802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726822281659673790.post-91658515746336813632014-09-07T07:31:19.906-04:002014-09-07T07:31:19.906-04:00The books with links I have blogged about and the ...The books with links I have blogged about and the ones with an * I have read ...

The ones with links I have read recently. The 1940s list was tough to create ... Many more interesting Books written in the 1950s. <br /><br />I, too, love the Cary Grant Mr. Blandings movie and want to see how the book measures up. Remember Myrna Loy describing the robins egg blue paint she wants?<br /><br />I like grouping books together by decade. We learn so much that way about the overall themes of the times. The 1970s was all horror ... Stepford Wives, Salems Lot, the Other, the Exorcist. Why was that, do you think? Not my favorite genre at all, but the concerns must be found int the stories.Leslie in Adams Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840152556999800325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4726822281659673790.post-36786655813582662592014-09-07T07:14:25.108-04:002014-09-07T07:14:25.108-04:00So these are all books that you've read Leslie...So these are all books that you've read Leslie?
