Library Haul

Sometimes I run low on books and go overboard with hold requests the next time I’m on the library’s website.  This was one of those times.
But after the relative famine of lean book times, when three books in sequence weren’t what I wanted, searching for new material on the library is such a simple happiness.  There are so many options and then within a week you have a comparative feast, a two foot high pile of books on the desk in your room.

I’ve already finished the first of this hall- Diana Athill’s Somewhere Towards the End.  Very much recommended.

Obviously I won’t be going into details about these, because I haven’t read them yet! They’re still mysteries to me.  It’s always kind of exciting, every time you have a new book to read.  You never know when you’re going to find a new favorite, or an author you have to learn more about.

• The Lady Vanishes, Ethel Lina White
• Ripley Under Ground, Patricia Highsmith
• The Day of the Jackal, Frederick Forsyth
• The Unmade Bed, Francoise Sagan
• Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West, Daniel Ladinsky
• The Song of the Lark, Willa Cather
• Innocents Abroad and Roughing It, Mark Twain
• Books for Living, Will Schwalbe
• The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, Tennessee Williams

That should hold me for a little while! ^.^
