The book Guests of the Sheik is undoubtedly a great read. I must confess from the cover I was thinking this book would be mind-numbing.

My November Guest My Sorrow‚ when she’s here with me‚ Thinks these dark days of autumn rain Are beautiful as days can be; She loves the bare‚ the withered tree; She walks the sodden pasture lane. Her pleasure will not let me stay. She talks and I am fain to list: She’s glad the birds are gone away‚ She’s glad her simple worsted grady Is silver now with clinging mist.
