I've read about 30(less than you and some of your friends!) and I'm sure I could be educated and delighted but some more of them. <br /><br />I'm reading--re-reading--two books at the moment, a fine memoir about New mexico ranching in the 1880's first published by Agnes Cleaveland in 1940, 'No Life for a Lady,' and, 'The Hotel New Hampshire,' by New Englander John Irving. Irving's book is smart and Dickensian, Cleaveland's book is graceful, both good. I think I've read three of Irving's (and probably would enjoy more) and see that one is on this list. Dickens has two or three on the list and I've read two of them, i think. perhaps I sould read Irving and Dickens this winter.<br /><br />RBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
