Put me on list. You know how I love an excuse to buy books.

Oh wow. Another on my “embarrassed to say I’ve never read but have a copy of [somewhere]” list.

Perhaps some of those windows could be turned (even partially) into shelves.

Very interesting book. Into second half (“Afterlife”).

Which should I start with?

Should I try the Spufford? Haven’t been able to get into him but willing to try.

Bunch of things—the Cagneti, the new Gertrude Stein biography (just finished Autobiography of Alice B Toklas), an old mystery by Elliot Paul that I may not finish.

Damn. Except for Lispector, don’t know any of these. @joiedevivre9.bsky.social, I feel unworthy

Hope they appreciated it. Among my all time favorites. Always amazed at how short —104 minutes—and yet well-paced it is. Not a wasted minute.

(With all respect to Fred Zinnemann, another fave—Day of the Jackal—could lose most of the 22 min that put it over the 2-hr mark.)

I read it when it first came out. One of the grabbiest first lines ever. Love everything she wrote, but this one hasn’t a sentence out of place.
