spring libro-cleaning and discoveries of volumes i didn't know i had: Manual of Old English Plays by Hazlitt; Elizabethan People by Stephanson; Letters of George Borrow to the British and ?Foreign Bible Society; Verses from 1929 On by Ogden Nash, to name a few... got to get rid of some books before i croak haha
ReplyDeleteIsn't it lovely when you discover treasures you did not even know you had?! Eleanor and I are starting to clean and will have lots of time to do so, with no school for the coming week, at least.
DeleteA slow week so only two from me:
ReplyDeleteFiction:
The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes - Early Detective Stories edited by Hugh Greene
Non-Fiction:
Tales from the Fast Trains - Europe at 186 MPH by Tom Chesshyre
I just read two different books about train wrecks in the US that were really interesting, and also sad. I can't imagine too many more dangerous jobs in the 1800s/early 1900s.
DeleteLooks like good stuff. The Reading Life especially- I'm kinda fascinated w/ CS Lewis but have read very little of his stuff (other than Narnia of course)??
ReplyDeleteI have never read anything of his completely yet. I am working on Mere Christianity and have been for over two years. My pastor said to read it out loud to myself in a British accent and that I will understand, no problem. So, that's what I do, lol. I also have the Screwtape Letters but have not started it. This book was interesting because it is quotes from letters, reviews, etc that he has made about reading and its value, purpose, etc.
DeleteSomeone @ work lent me 'Mere Christianity' in an attempt to convert me. He said that it would change my life. I managed about 30-40 pages before I had to give it back. Needless to say I was not much impressed!
DeleteWell, since my pastor recommended I read it while speaking out loud in a British accent, maybe you need to read it out loud in an American accent, lol. It's not actually a book, it is a collection of his radio shows in word-form. It is hard to get through.
DeleteI hope you enjoy them all!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Thanks AJ! I have actually read them all already, and was not disappointed by any!
DeleteI am intrigued about The Reading Life by C.S. Lewis! Nice haul!
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS
Also, I just followed you via GFC and Bloglovin'!
DeleteIt was an interesting read, a collection of his quotes, reviews, etc that speaks directly of the love and value of books and reading and such.
DeleteThank you, I will do the same!
DeleteNothing new in this week. That is ok. I have plenty to read!
ReplyDeleteSaaaaaaame here, for both of us!
DeleteI am still trying to decide which book to pick for my Kindle First pick. Some months I know right away and other months, I just cannot decide. I hope you enjoy all of your new reads.
ReplyDeleteI felt like there was a really good selection this month, and more options? I naturally had to go for the non-fiction because I have never seen a non-fiction choice until now! (Though I have not been using this benefit from Prime for very long because I only found out about it in January I think.)
