3 down and 3 to go. lovely stuff.

Currently reading Elisabeth Sheffield’s latest Ire Land (A Faery Tale) which is absolutely brilliant by the way, but not seeing it on here, any one want to remedy that for her/me/you?

goodreads says i’m 1,027 books behind schedule of my 5,000 book goal for the year. oh well.

We meet again, a book, this time just under 30 years since pub, and not a single read or review. How lovely. Oh, and not that anyone cares, clearly. This is fantastic so far...

At last, a grail piece done got snagged. After years of searching for an affordable copy of Evening Edged in Gold, a like new copy popped up for 125 shipping included, and I just couldn’t say no. Can’t wait to have this beauty on the shelf.

This is fantastic, thus. From Faulkner’s trilogy finale to this Coover, proves a lovely transition.

“With a richness and color wholly alien to the novel in America, Hauser constructs a myth close to music in its power to move the reader from one dazzling passage to the next.” —Guy Davenport

This is just fantastic so far.

It’s sat the shelf long enough, the time appears to jump and let fall into this rabbit hole.

“it is a mistake to split me asunder, because I am one, and apart from me there is no other Lord, because I am neither creator nor destroyer, because the place where I abide in existence is far, far deeper, it is within the inconceivable, forever and ever—to which you may no longer say: Amen.”

This, among others, proved to send chills, to hold breath, and to let flow through.

LK exhausts the sentence, that’s for sure. But does he exhaust the language? No. The writers I tend to admire most, do their best to do both. Brilliant brilliant stuff, nonetheless.

Rereading this in anticipation of the new one soon to be pub’d, and also cuz Olsen is just so dang good

Trying to have no expectations going into it, and so far it’s proven mildly pleasant to read, in a lukewarm kind of way.
