Dear blogger friends, Lately, I had a few problems with the Blogger web site for my blog The Content Reader . I took this as a sign that I should finally create a web site of my own. I have been checking out other options, but could not get my act together. Finally, I have managed to create a basic web site with Wix, which I hope will be developed over time.  It has not been easy to find my way around.

The Go-Between by J.P. Hartley 9. Women in Love by D.H. Lawrence 10. Det röda fältet (The Red Field) by Mo Yan 11...
