The Life of Charlotte Bronte sounds really interesting. You'll have to tell me how it is

As for me, I just bought another copy of The Brothers Karamazov - the state mine was in was almost shameful.

This Perfect Day by Ira Levin

It's a nice 1970 hardcover, book club edition with a dustjacket that is in pretty good condition. I got it for half price at about $6 something.
So, to complete my Levin novel collection, I just need two more in hardcover - A Kiss Before Dying and Son of Rosemary.

The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco

The Baron in the Trees by Italo Calvino

 

[steelclaw32]

Just started on the...Third in the series of the "Prey books" by one..
:


EEWWWWW! THAT bastard (and he is one that Doctor Michael Bekker is O N E sick son of bitch, at three am this morning, I'd had enough of him,! God only knows how I went to sleep. Had just finished chapter seven by then, and had a walloping stomachache too, never mind a very,very nasty taste in my mouth thanks to him. Carlo Druze's, just your 'ordinary' garden variety loo-laa but Bekker.. I've met his like male and female in real life and 'kind,' or 'type' or whatever category you want to put that shower into, they should've been drowned at birth.

It's been a long, L O N G time since I've read such the most nauseating character in fiction, and just shows what damn good writer Mr. S is, what.?

Just received Tipping the Velvet, by Sarah Waters, in the mail from bookswim.com, so I've started it.
