This week's mail brought a hand screened edition of the brilliant 'Wholsesome' album by Hands and Knees, two Richard Yates titles and a further two from Dorothy B. Hughes. Interested to see how the novel of 'The Fallen Sparrow' compares to the movie, given that the cinema treatment of 'In A Lonely Place' was so different.
And is it just me or does everyone's accumulation of books generally outstrip the time available to actually read them? I think of it as stockpiling for holidays. Got to have something to look forward to, after all...

Yes, Alistair...the To Be Read pile never seems to shrink...only grow...

With great availability comes a great responsibility to exercise restraint, perhaps? Not that I am any good at that. Those Richard Yates stories are wonderful.

I like that snappy Spiderman idea Chris :) But I've also never been any good at exercising restraint, so i guess I'll never be that superhero... Started on the Yates short stories and yes, they are wonderful. I've put them on hold for the moment as I indulge in some Wodehouse - getting into the Blandings stories. I shall return to Yates soon, however.
