That's a very good idea, dem. hopefully michel is still looking in occassionally and will think about it.
meantime - aaarrrgghh!! number three - the woman and the severed head! my ex picked this up years and years ago (must be at least fifteen, as i can remember where i read it and we left there in '94), and i was going through a 'not able to settle to victorian prose' period. i remember wondering why the stradivarius story wasn't as much fun as erich zann - which is a ludicrous comparison, but perhaps i'd just read that one again. and i also remember ploughing through henry james and wondering if he'd ever thought of the concept of pace. whereas now i think his style is what marks him out. ah, the callowness of youth (well, late twenties, then).
god, i'd love to still have that one on the shelf now, just to go back and read it in a better mood. but at a tenner a pop, i think i'll hope dem can badger wordsworth a bit...
thought about that, dem? a sort of ghouls lit agent, striking deals for the dead?

thought about that, dem? a sort of ghouls lit agent, striking deals for the dead? Imagine how brilliant that would look next to 'occupation' on your passport.
