You've also triggered my memory that I have a Vera Caspary omnibus in my TBR bookcase that needs to be read. It includes: Laura; Bedelia; and Evvie. I've seen Laura, the film so many times and I love it. <br />Thanks and regards, Star.Star Girlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-19267208052919128742016-08-12T07:53:02.892+10:002016-08-12T07:53:02.892+10:00Thanks Kat.

I think rereading just a bit of Genji in a different translation will be good & I may even try the Waley after that if I'm not Genji-ed out. I'm so pleased about the Penguin reprints of Bennett. They're such lovely editions, I love the paper & the cover art of the new Modern Classics, very tempting.lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-47266880793147335392016-08-12T07:50:22.620+10:002016-08-12T07:50:22.620+10:00Now Joan, you know you're thrilled to be addin...Now Joan, you know you're thrilled to be adding to the tbr mountain! Since writing this post last weekend, I've read The Past is Myself by Christabel Bielenberg which has led me down another trail of books about WWII by German writers. The temptations are endless; I just hope I live long enough to read all these books I keep buying!lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04509400868331534237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3020849054403226268.post-75030453400394878852016-08-12T02:38:19.428+10:002016-08-12T02:38:19.428+10:00A fascinating post!

I do love Bennett and Wells and must get back to them. And I love it that you're trying a different translation for Genji. I sort of jumbled up bits of three, but now inspired you maybe I'll read a section just in the Waley!

I've just downloaded Murder in Volume and archived the link to CADS. I'm not sure I should thank you!joan.kylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015342608992682333noreply@blogger.com
