Subject: RE: Books: Whatcha readin lately?
I am in a poetry mode of late. Have been reading Michael Hartnett and Charles Causley. Oh, I do love Charles Causley. Also more Yeats and a lot of W. H. Auden.
I have reread recently "The Waves" by Virginia Wolf. Beautiful writing. Am also dipping into her Diaries.
Whilst trying to find some books for the Charity shop, I came across "Twenty Years A Growing" by Maurice O' Sullivan. What a truly lovely book, especially if you wish to look back on a lost way of Life in Ireland.
I am also reading The last few of the Brunetti mysteries by Donna Leone, I love them. The descriptions of food always make me hungry !
Am reading "The Lady In Gold", non-fiction, about the painting by Klimpt that stolen from a Jewish Family in Austria during the war. It is about one womans fight to get the painting restored to the rightful owner.
Great thread, Lots of good suggestions.
