Bibliography, May 2014

BOTM: P.L. Fermor, Between the woods and the water*

R.E. Feist, Magician*
P.L. Fermor, A time of gifts*
A. Koestler, The thirteenth tribe
A. Koestler, Darkness at noon
P. Roth, Exit Ghost
B. Unsworth, Stone Virgin

Decent bit of rereading last month, almost by accident. And Koestler - how have I not read Koestler before. Anyway, magnificent though he was, this was inevitable. I'm rereading Paddy Leigh Fermor's first two volumes of his trip to Constantinople in preparation for reading the posthumously edited third. They are as glorious as I recall, and the second one is the better, though I'm not insensible to the charge that that's due to my own sympathies, not purely literary merit.
