Weekend Reading List

Even though I conscientiously give books and magazines away these days, I still find I'm accumulating more than I have space for. I've cut down on buying magazines (well, there's not much out there that excites me anymore), and papers I read online. I've taken to going to the library when I need something to read, and there's something old fashioned about this that I find charming. Just yesterday, I had stuff to return ( I love dropping the books in the book drop!) and popped into the stacks. In 15 minutes, this is what I picked up:

The Beautiful and the Damned, F Scott Fitzgerald (First published, 1922. Isn't this a glorious title?)

The Complete Claudine, Colette (A collection of all the Claudine books)

Arts and Letters, Edmund White (A collection of essays)

So these are three books I won't be adding to the groaning shelves! Plus the spectre of having the pay a fine keeps me reading like a demon...
