25.24 Wilkins Micawber’s Principle
I shared an office with a distinguished older gentleman who was many times more, or less, the man than met the eye. A smaller man but a towering intellect, immaculately dressed, and a sly sense of humour, with a propensity for lickerous limericks.
His Nibs and the author, New Year’s Eve 2018JFW came from a privileged family and enjoyed a comfortable life growing up in the 1940s Toronto. Privileged

| Disappointing. There’s a pattern here to Joanne Trollope’s books – boring, intricate and too familiar family dramas. She tries to portray familiar marital strife from the perspective of the effect not just on the protagonists but most of the other fa ...more | |

Susan Budd's review
of
The Mind's I: Fantasies and Reflections on Self and Soul:
"Rereading The Mind’s I forty years after it was published is like opening a philosophical time capsule of the 1970s. With the exception of a paper by Alan Turing and some fiction by Borges, all the selections in this anthology date from 1972 to 1982."

“I'd had the idea, once, that if I could get the chance before I died I would read all the good books there were. Now I began to see that I wasn't apt to make it. This disappointed me, for I really wanted to read them all.”
