J.R.R. Tolkein, The Hobbit*
R. Blake, Conspiracies of Rome
R. Blake, Terrors of Constantinople
G. Eliot, Silly novels by Lady novelists
I read most of these in the first half of the month, and have added only one in the last fortnight. I'm not sure quite why. Last week I read several editions of Foreign Affairs but I don't count periodicals as part of this. Anyway, much was fun, I was struck by the total unsuitability of The Hobbit for three films, and the best was Athill's 1960s memoir. Frank, with a good helping of nostalgia and a nice style. It was also a total bargain on the kindle. I'll buy the rest of hers now.
