June 17, 2014, Tuesday afternoon -- Reading Patti Smith

On the bank of the Thames, not far from the Tate Modern (in London, where I'm on vacation)

Reading Just Kids, by Patti Smith.  It was a gift from a friend who read it and thought she'd like it, too. 

Her favorite author is Terry Pratchett.  She said that if she's ever feeling sick, his books cheer her up.
