Yesterday, I visited the Michener Art Museum, in Doylestown, Pennsylvania. There is a small room dedicated to the author. I loved his personal set of Balzac books that were a childhood gift from his aunt. They also had the log from the local library with the date and his signature when he signed for his original library card as a child. He was a Quaker and donated much of his earnings to libraries, schools, and programs for writers.
Kaylamburson So cool! I live only about 25 minutes from Doylestown so I‘ll have to go! 1y

DivineDiana @Leftcoastzen I had visited the museum many times for various exhibits. This time I remembered that there was a connection to the author! About time! 1y
quirkyreader Yea, a museum dedicated to one of my favourite authors and fellow Quaker. 1y
DivineDiana @quirkyreader I am embarrassed to say that I have not read any of his books. I did start Texas, many, many years ago. It is still on my shelves unfinished! I think 2023 is the year to finally finish it! 🙂 1y
DivineDiana @Kaylamburson I live about 40 minutes away. 1y
Kaylamburson Not bad at all! @DivineDiana ! 1y
DivineDiana @Kaylamburson Agree! 1y
