Bibliography, September 2012

BOTM: C. McCullers, The Heart is a lonely hunter

A. Christie, Three Act Tragedy
G.M. Fraser, Royal Flash
C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters*
M. Ondaatje, The English Patient
A. Trollope, The Warden*
E.O. Wilson, Anthill
P.G. Wodehouse, Pigs have wings

I was lazy last month. I pondered reading all the Booker, but couldn't really be bothered. And then I went to France and didn't publish this. Some great stuff too. I was disappointed with Anthill, but the rest were great. BOTM was McCullers. Nicely written, sparse, sad, very Faulkner. Economical too, I thought, with a lot left unsaid. Anna has been banging on about it me reading it for a while. I'm glad she did.
