Don't keep us in suspense. A very tiny what?

Unfortunately this novel has not yet been translated to English - amusing and interesting story about a woman who decides to poison her husband after many years of marriage. She is fed up with his conceited and selfish manners, and for constantly putting her down and letting her down.

Diane Setterfield: The Thirteenth Tale (2006)

I have turned out to be a guy who has two or three thousand books (plus the magical tablet library) who doesn't actually read very much.

So I can only post about books that I recently thought of reading:

Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman,

And Thomas Blackthorne's/John Meaney's books Edge and Point.

Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lectures (Douglas Jerrold)

a nice read even if a bit dated. (Geneder Aware People might be offended at times)

The book I'm reading now, 'The Thirteenth Tale', is about an antiquarian, a writer and her books. I like the feeling of old books, and so I recalled that among my books was Helene Hanff's '84, Charing Cross Road' - a humorous and true story about old books. It gave me the same feeling of comfort and cosy expectations.
The Spanish writer Carlos Ruiz Zafón's amazing series 'Cemetery of Forgotten Books', four novels starting with 'The Shadow of the Wind', is also about old books. There is something special with old books. 🙂

I love old books too! Years ago, when my children were in elementary school, I had an idea to start a collection of old, first edition books. Over a few years I built up my collection...and then my children’s school burnt to the ground.

When I was able to speak with my daughter’s teacher and asked her what she had lost from her classroom, with tears in her eyes, she described the collection of old books that she had placed in her classroom to share with her class. There was no question about what to do next...

I think it might have pleased me as much as it did her to know that my collection was enriching the education of my child and all other children who came through her classroom throughout the years.
