Re-reading

Us publishing folks love books. There are so many to read, and I'm always in a quandary about whether it's preferable to re-read old gems or to keep diving into new bookish pools. I'm trying to strike a good balance, but here are three good'uns that I most want to revisit:

The Secret History - Donna Tartt
Read this years ago and remember diddly-squat about it, apart from that it was brilliant. Probably top of the re-read chart at the moment!

Tender is the Night - F Scott Fitzgerald
Fitzgerald is a writer whose work needs to be read slowly, and indulged in. I think I read Tender is the Night too quickly, in eagerness of attaining 'I have read Tender is the Night' status. I bolted this book, and Fitzgerald's books - like most foods - should not be bolted. F Scott Fitzgerald is not a cereal bar.

Decline and Fall - Evelyn Waugh
Hilarious 1920s fun. Furthermore, who can fail to love an author who married someone with the same name as him? Apparently they were known as He-Evelyn and She-Evelyn. Genius.

Blogosfear

OK I admit it, I false started on the blog front - I can be a little half-hearted with new, and very public, internet vocalising.

However I am conquering the blogosfear and ignoring the BF's protestations that 'it's all a waste of time'. I'm keeping my blue eyes open and my green jeans on. Take two!
