liking those books
...you got for christmas but not sure where to put them. ease yourself into some booklover bliss here. i don't know how tumblr works so i can't read any of the notes - anyone figures this out please tell me. in the meantime t and me will be utilising our current book storage system (other wise known as the floor) to be reading this and this. anything but mroe food....
You've got me wanting to reread Montaigne.
ReplyDeleteGot some excellent books for Christmas- they're keeping me off the laptop at the moment!
Currently reading Michael Brooks' 13 Things that don't make sense.
i'd definitely recommend the sarah bakewell so far. not as good as reading montaigne direct but lots of nice background detail
