Hello,
Many of the books you've read this past year I've read or have been meaning to read as well. You might like Leslie Whitten's Moon of the Wolf, if you haven't read that already.
I noticed you mention Julien Gracq as a favorite. I've read
The Castle of Argol and The Opposing Shore. Just ordered 3 more
I haven't read. Should be interesting. Very strange writer.
Hi
You share more favourite authors with me than anyone else on Library Thing - 12 all up. That's pretty good! And I haven't even listed my surrealism yet!
Cheers
Leigh Blackmore
