It is more that I have many other books I would rather than that I have anything against reading it. Most interesting is The Return of the Twelves.TracyKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08303342674824383688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-80598829308226183412020-10-04T17:43:23.204-04:002020-10-04T17:43:23.204-04:00Oh yes, I hope you - and we - survive November 3.
...Oh yes, I hope you - and we - survive November 3.<br /><br />Great chain Con. I have only read Author, author, which I enjoyed, though I think I slightly preferred Colm Toìbin's The master which came out the same year. Fascinating that two books about The same author came out around the same time.<br /><br />I'd be intrigued to read the Simonson book. I hadn't heard of it.Whispering Gumshttps://whisperinggums.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-73111882498978357502020-10-03T11:00:04.692-04:002020-10-03T11:00:04.692-04:00This was so intriguing!

The reference to Pauline Clarke was particularly enlightening, because I recently saw "To Walk Invisible" on the Brontes -- and there are scenes where they are playing this remarkable game.

I haven't read anything by David Lodge but the BBC dramatised one of his books years ago which I remember watching... Nice Work I think it was, set on a university campus.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3013114232214923198.post-26647559561511822102020-10-03T03:14:16.197-04:002020-10-03T03:14:16.197-04:00Well, your chain seems much lighter in tone than s...Well, your chain seems much lighter in tone than some of the others so far...
