English Language Library in Antigua
For months I’ve been meaning to get over to the American Legion library to check it out.  I finally did the other day and was pleased to find more than just trashy romance novels (although there are a lot of those, too).  In fact, on my inaugural book check-out I found “Churchill, Hitler & The Unnecessary War” by Buchanan, “The Silmarillion” by Tolkien, “Gods and Generals” by Shaara and
