I seem to be drawn toward books about people walking in cities. At the moment, I’m reading A Walk Through Paris by Eric Hazan. I got it out of the Los Angeles Library, which due to the Covid-19 life, takes a few weeks or more to get a book delivered to your local library. I walk to the Silver Lake branch to pick up my book about walking. The strange thing about taking a walk is not an exercise issue but a mental process and the need to explore one’s living area. I’m very fortunate that I live in a place near three bus lines, as well as getting LYFT. Although since the lockdown, I haven’t been on a bus for over a year now. The same with LYFT. So, I find myself traveling within my home.
