Tietoja minusta Despite being rather old, I am still buying books faster than I read them. I gain a little comfort from the thought that time will run out before the books do!

My strange picture is a lithograph by Charles Keeping from The Treasure of Abbott Thomas in the Folio Society edition of the Ghost Stories of M R James.

Tietoja kirjastostani Varied but heavy on poetry, Wodehouse and Napoleonic war novels. Residue of my professional library from my working life. Included are my wife's books as well as those of my grown-up children that they have left in my care - along with all the other juvenalia ;-). We were rather 'completist' with their library so folk like Roger Hargreaves and Rev. Awdry stick out in my author cloud.

Looking at my favourite authors reminds me that I tend to escapism rather than serious literary study. I like romans fleuves but, despite owning two versions of Proust, I haven't got past Swann's Way.

Thanks for joining, and good luck with the Times crossword – I think that would count as a 'Premiership' puzzle in most circles! If you haven't already seen it, you might be interested in Seven Hundred Penguins.

Well, I've just bumped into you in the BBC Radio 3's group! You might like to explore the varied programming on 2MBS-FM - a volunteer-run radio station in Sydney. In order to stay viable they must broadcast some advertisements unfortunately, but these are infrequent and low-key. It was your eagerness to hear Lucia that prompts me to mention this, because 2MBS broadcasts an opera every Wednesday evening at eight (our time). This coming Wednesday is La Boheme. Of course it will be at morning-tea time for you and might not be what you want to listen to then. The station broadcasts mainly "classical" music, but has a smidgin of blues, folk and a nice slice of jazz too. Anyway - have a look/listen if you're curious:

Coincidence indeed! After Elm Park Gardens I lived variously in Holland Park (well, not actually IN the park) - on the wrong side of the avenue, and then in Camden Town; also spent a little time in a bed-sit in Kensington Church Street. Don't suppose you happened to live in any of those places too? :) All in all I lived in London for ten years. Sometimes I miss Europe and the big cities, but am settled happily in this small town in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales now and enjoying the slow pace of life here. I've re-visited the UK, Ireland, France and Italy, but find the teeming masses of the cities a little overwhelming.... Still interesting though!

Regards,
Thrin

No, abbotthomas, I didn't live in Earl's Court... was determined to "go native" as soon as I could, and did (as far as a foreigner could). I lived at 63 Elm Park Gardens, SW something. An exciting time.. The house was populated by musicians and artists of various kinds.
The landlady didn't think any other sorts of folk were "respectable"! We weren't far from Chelsea's King's Road, and it was just before the boutique culture began there. A more interesting time I think. Many a tale could be told, but perhaps this is not the place. Thanks for the memories.

Just a note to thank you for your kind words in the Site Talk thread. I also noticed, looking at your profile, that there is another Penguin group that I wasn't aware of. LT also has a "Penguin Classics" group, but not much in the way of discussion on it. Maybe I should have a look at your group.

Your picture looks like a demented clown. Something decidedly unpleasant about it, but I suppose that's the point, isn't it?

Cheers!

Just had to tell you how your recent catalogued item - Katherine Whitehorn's Cooking in a Bedsitter stirred many happy memories of my first experience of independent living as young Australian in London in the early '60s. Living in a large airy room and cooking on a gas-ring with Whitehorn's book close at hand.... Couldn't have been happier in a castle!

Never got past Swann's Way myself, either. Book mark still left in place for next attempt. As my catalogue grows your library creeps up my similar-library scale. Initially, it seemed solely a Penguin 60’s phenomenon: but the trend has survived. At the very least, we both share the acquisitive habit.
