About my libraryI try to read a bit of everything and to explore outside of what I like to call my "comfort zone" because I believe that literature is no good if people stick to books they know they'll like - great literature aims at changing your idea of the world.
My goal in life is to become something between Jo Rowling, Brian Kinney and Lorelai Gilmore and tour with the Puppini Sisters.

The book just arrive a couple of days ago ( Sarah Waters new one) and I have been determined to
finish slogging through The Terror ( terrible book) before reading it.
I will pick it up tomorrow afternoon when I have some hours to spend with it. How can it be anything but good? :)
I was so excited to receive it, I felt like I was jumping up and down inside my skin.
I see that you are now reading a deLint. I love him as well. Have you read Forest of the Heart and Into the Green? And his Newfords?
Take care

P.S. Party to Be repeated at 8:00 p.m est for those who can't make the 3:00 time
Sibylle, it's my birthday and I want to celebrate. I've already got an impromptu dance party going on at the Moss-Freestate maison right now. But why stop there? Let's get the world dancing, dancing for peace, for justice, for gentleness, for love and human kindness. So here's the deal. At exactly 3:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, I'm going to put on my current favorite dance song "Life in Technicolor" from the Vida la Vida cd by Coldplay. If you have a copy of this song, at exactly 3:00 p.m. est (whatever time that is by your clock), hit the play button and dance away. If you don't have this song, turn on your favorite dance song and dance. Even if you can't stand, dance. Dance in your chair, in your bed, if all you can do is wiggle your fingers, dance with them. The song is 2:29 minutes so it won't take much time. At the end, shout YAY for everything that's good in the world. Pass the message on to friends if you like. They don't have to know me; I'd just like to think of millions of people all over the world dancing at the same time for all that is good. It would be the best birthday present ever!!!
Pass the word ON!!!!!

Until the book comes out, try checking out www.welovesarahwaters.com. It's a fan fiction site that has a massive Fingersmith sequel called, The Legacy.
Cheers

I read your comment about Bas Bleu. I've been a member and customer for several years - they are absolutely fabulous. I keep their catalog on my coffee table like a magazine - but I do try to order from them when I can (I was very sad to read your comment about Common Reader).

P.S. You have a great name :-) There are not very many of us!

You mentioned the Feminine Middlebrow Novel in a thread in the Virago Group, I thought you might be interested in Forever England: Femininity, Literature and Conservatism between the Wars by Alison Light which has a chapter on Ivy Compton-Burnett.
best wishes
