A dozen or so books to keep me entertained for the next few weeks.
And a quote, first seen at Quiet Life, then recogized at Writer's Almanac today, where Goethe is remembered because it's his birthday.
"One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words."
You have a few there I've enjoyed: Ex Libris; St. Elmo; Dark Torte: and Coot Club; but I've never read the two by Russell Kirk you have. Will you post a short review later?
ReplyDeleteShort review on Kirk is done.
ReplyDeleteWhat did you think of St Elmo? When did you read it? Have you read any of her others?
I read St. Elmo in August of 1997. I'd say it's kind of an Elsie Dinsmore for grown women. Somewhat similar to Stepping Heavenward. I enjoyed it. Although I haven't re-read it, I did think enough of it to buy an old copy I found at a library book sale a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI've not read any of her others. If you do, please post a review, or at least tell me if they are worth reading!
