Oaxaca
My name is Patrick Kelly. In the U.S., I lived in Colorado and moved to Oaxaca, Mexico, twelve years ago. The only thing I really miss from the U.S. is the book group. I'm hoping to replicate the experience on line.

Re: Oaxaca
Sorry, I'm late.
For years, when I was working, I read mostly non-fiction related to my work. I am a compulsive reader. When I quit working I switched and started reading mostly fiction. I explained to my children that there is often more truth in fiction than in non-fiction.
I generally read mysteries/detective stories. Rarely police procedure. Sometimes a drama. Occasionally, non-fiction. In my to-be-read list is Confederacy of Dunces for a second reading, some British detective/mystery novels, and a couple of books on Zapotec and Mixtec history in the Oaxaca Valley of Mexico.
The only thing I really miss from the U.S. is my reading group.
