I really liked Unlikely Stories, Mostly! Your current reading material sounds truly daunting.

Hello there, Maurice! I was just going through my library, and noticed that you and I are two of the only five LibraryThing members to have a copy of Angel Loves Nobody listed in our library. Lately I have been trying to review books on my list owned only by myself, and thought I would try to encourage you to enter a review on this uncommon title. Reviewing little-known books is a great way to raise awareness of the multitude of reading material already available above and beyond the latest releases, ands adds a bit of variety to the review sections. I also think it is kind of fun.

Hopefully, I can convince you to review this title and help it gain a little more recognition. If not, I understand completely, and if so, I look forward to reading it.

Thank you for indulging me,

Scott

I see you recently added Gysin's The Process. There is someone on here with a Gysin connection (and a good library) if you are interested:

Something interesting I've noticed: the people who share an interest in the ben waugh books who I find have interesting libraries, are also interested in ants. As are the writers that we find interesting. The Holldobler and Wilson book (Journey to the Ants) is great (despite a bad title.) And, I found out from ben w. that Hans Heinz Ewers wrote a book that was published in translation in the 1920s or so about ants that is affordable (meaning $25 or so.) I haven't gotten around to picking it up yet...

Your currently reading is consistently interesting. Envy your EC stuff.
