What I was Reading...
The summer before last I was reading, among other things,
Virginia Woolf's masterpiece Night and Day
With its classic comic structure, minutely observed characters, and delicate irony (it has) invited comparison to the works of Shakespeare and Jane Austen. ~ Rachel Wetzsteon
Henry James In the Cage ~ a very interesting novella: a treat if you like Henry James.
I found these books at my local Barnes & Noble, and not having seen the titles before, grabbed them while I could. Why are they still hanging around when I'm trying to clear out bookshelves? Well, the authors-- hard for me to part with anything by them, (and there is the possible limited availability of these titles to consider) and also because I may want to enjoy a re-read someday.
