Thread Name: BS: Reading books in parallel
Subject: RE: BS: Reading books in parallel
I'm a member of 2 libraries, & consequently I always have 20 library books around.
I'm currently reading:
'A History of Pagan Europe' by Prudence Jones & Nigel Pennick
3 issues of Vanity Fair (Aug 2006, Jan & Apr 2007)
'The Tartar Khan's Englishman' by Gabriel Ronay
the wrong edition of 'The Funeral Effigies of Westminster Abbey' by Harvey & Mortimer (I asked for 2nd rev.ed 2003 & they got 1st ed 1995 even tho I told them which Libraries had the 2nd edition. I hope they won't charge me again when they borrow the correct one as I didn't immediately take it back cos it's too fascinating, but the 2nd ed has 20 extra pages & presumably 8 more years of scholarship)
"Art in Europe 1700 - 1830' by Matthew Craske
5 craft books & 2 books on jewellery (one on ancient gold!) &
This morning I finished 2 issues of 'County Life' (British weekly magazine). Earlier this week I read 3 large children's fantasies - Books 1 - 3 of 'Septimus Heap' by Angie Sage (each the size of the latest Harry Potter )
I'm currently not reading & really must get back to this lot which are not library books: - 4 Decades of Dr Who - The Blind Spot by Austin Hall & Homer Eon Flint (SF classic from 1921) - all the Harry Potter books before I get the next one
