Reading - current

Havent read either of John Boyne or Jennifer Connolly. I re-read Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald which is pretty stunning. Also read The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie by Muriel Spark. A very finely written book - straight out of the top drawer.

Now reading the Collected Memoirs of Julian Maclaren-Ross - who I think may be something of a find. Thanks to good friend Peter for this. Ross has faded from view but was very highly esteemed by Evelyn Waugh and John Betjeman. He died in 1964 at only 52.
