Alters commentary is excellent, I'm getting fresh insight to familiar stories. I'm currently reading the David narrative. So struck by the heartache that befalls him for his sins of adultery/murder. Yes, he is forgiven, but the schranpel and damage to his life and family, Tamar, Absalom, a divided kingdom, unending heartache. From the glorious exploits of his youth to the bitter disappointments of old age his story is magnificent and also a cautionary tale.

I've decided to take a break, after a couple of decades of reading only non-fiction, to get back to fiction by reading the Complete Sherlock Holmes, over 1,000 pages of all 56 tales by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (see image below).
