Oooh I am drooling over your new books. Howards End is on the Landing sounds gorgeous and I just love books about books. Lovesong is on my radar too. How are you going with your challenge of 100 Books for 2009? Are you speed reading as the deadline draws closer? I am joining the 1010 Challenge for 2010 although 100 books is a bit optimistic for me so I have tweaked the number a bit to be a realistic goal. Reading 10 categories but with a gradual increase in the number of books in each category beginning with 1 and ending with 10. How are you coping with the heat? Cooler and much needed rain falling here at the present.

I am impressed by the Proust - I seem to have lost the impetus to read anything that requires anything more than minimal input ...

I am glad to hear that there is not much fuel in your area - but I agree with you that it is likely to be a very hot summer.

The hot nights in Melbourne are just disgusting - but usually we can rely on the overnight lows of 28 only appearing in Jan/Feb! at least week pormises to be cooler - I hope it improves for you

Cheers
