- An odd collection of books acquired over the past forty years or so. Despite occasional culls they still number more than 1,800 excluding all the books my wife has collected.
I don't know if it is statistically true but the book which most often crops up as shared in others' libraries is Mark Haddon's [The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.] Or perhaps I'm just looking for it and notice.
A note on Interesting Libraries: whilst it is comforting to find libraries comprising a list of very similar authors and works as one's own, I'm looking for libraries with not one similarity. I exclude all the fantasy/sci-fi and similar libraries of narrow interest acknowledging that my own small collection is full of blind spots, lacuna, silent holes a bit like Gruyere cheese.
A note on Granta: the fortunes of Granta, a student run magazine, were revived when Bill Buford, an American, became editor in 1979. The first six numbers of the journal appeared between 1979 and 1983 and were reprinted as a boxed set in September 1989. Penguin distributed the quarterly journal beginning with Granta 7 (1983). In 1985 Granta began distribution in the USA with Granta 15: The Fall of Saigon. Penguin Books relationship with Granta ceased with issue 65, Spring 1999. - Informazione su di me
- Brief whys and wherefores of the favourite writers starred in the cloud: the first poem of William Barnes I ever read struck such an emotional chord I cried: The Voices That Be Gone.
My mother was from Gloucestershire and a near contemporary of Laurie Lee whose As I Walked Out I read as an impressionable teen-ager.
Alan Bennett, mmm, must be his Yorkshire accent. - Luogo
