Id est, books that at one point were lying in physical form on a table in my house, and that I read from end to end. I skim a lot of stuff in bookstores and elsewhere, especially shorter pieces - Gaiman stories, Calvino essays. At one point I read a few chapters of All Quiet on the Western Front, do you know I never realized that book was written by a German, explains why the front was Western then. *is sporked*
Writeups after dinner. Is there one I should start with? XD I should make a to-read/acquire list, too - trying to move forward with the Dragaera books in particular but stymied by how Five Hundred Years Later appears to have fallen out of print (!?!). Suggestions are welcome.
- Steven Brust, Orca
- Angela Carter, Burning Your Boats: The Collected Short Stories
- G. K. Chesterton, The Innocence of Father Brown
- Deborah Curtis, Touching from a Distance
- Graham Greene, Brighton Rock
