Hello, Peter. I was just lazily browsing LT when I chanced upon your library and was fascinated by the mixture of old friends and unfamiliar authors that I found.

I was intrigued by your review of Magda Szabo's The Door and wondered if you would be so kind as to make a few recommendations of novels from your library among the lesser well known authors.

Personally I particularly enjoy John Banville, Rose Tremain, Paul Auster and ... well, feel free to browse my catalogue if you so wish.

Greetings and Happy New Year,
Kevin Porter (dylanwolf)
