About me'In everything, I want to reach
To the very essence.
In work, in searching for the path,
In troubles of the heart.

To the essence of days gone by,
To their causes,
To foundations, to roots,
To the core...'

Like a character out of George Gissing, I sit by my fireplace in South London surrounded by rather too many books. A suspicious number of them are in foreign (and in the worst cases, dead foreign) languages.

About my libraryI'm presently engaged in disposing of books, so a certain amount of disorder will be observed.

Hi there,
I notice that you gave Promised Lands by Jane Rogers just 1 1/2 stars. I've just bought this (yet to read it) and wondered what it was about it you thought so bad?
