YOU CAN'T LOSE, READING A BOOK BY CLYDE BRION DAVIS

 

It started with QUICK News Weekly, the 1949-1953 magazine Wally Cox told us about that I liked so much that I've since collected all 209 issues.  While perusing QUICK, I came upon a review of the book, The Age of Indiscretion, by Clyde Brion Davis.  Sounded good so of course I bought it.  I enjoyed his writing so much that I went ahead and bought all of Davis' books, except for Nebraska Coast, one I'm still looking for but am convinced it no longer exists.  Davis worked as a journalist, and wrote mostly fiction with some non-fiction mixed in.

If you've gotten out of the habit of reading, I'd almost promise you that a book by Clyde Brion Davis will pull you back in.  I've read and enjoyed them all, and am proud to have them in the Lund Library.
