I bought this paperback copy of "Good Wives" by Louisa May Alcott last week. I have a copy of "Little Women" before but it was ruined by termites few months ago. I got this immediately before the bookstore that sells this in our country will double its price soon.
When my mother saw this, she asked me if I have plans to get married judging from its title. I was upset but not surprised. She sometimes questions my choice of books I found so that's something to be expected.

Margaret Mitchell: Gone with the Wind (1936)
I received a big paperback copy of "North and South" today! I happened to found this lone copy of the novel at an online bookshop in our country. Didn't miss a chance to bought this and I'm glad I finally got it. For some reason, Elizabeth Gaskell's novels are rare and hard to find in our country compare to novels written by Jane Austen and Brontë sisters. Gaskell's works deserve more love really.
I bought another copy of "Jane Eyre" novel few days ago. I got this from playing online puzzle games in the past few weeks and received a huge discount as a reward from it. I only paid few coins for this. I've been checking this edition for a long time but I couldn't buy it because it's expensive. Now I got it, it's good to see this. This edition, besides the story itself has a biography of the author, index of explanations behind the phrases used and brief history of adaptations of it.

I Saw Three Swans: Baudelaire, Rilke, Oswald
I Saw Three Swans: Baudelaire, Rilke, Oswald
A friend of mine recently asked what I thought of Alice Oswald’s poem, ‘Swan’ – in fact, what did I think it meant. It appears in her 2016 collection Falling Awake (Cape Poetry). I’m not sure I can give a direct answer to her direct question, but it linked up with two other swan poems I have read recently. Baudelaire’s poem appears in The Flowers of Evil and I have been re-reading a couple of…

2019 in books - *why* do I find it hard to pick favourites?? :D
2019 in books – *why* do I find it hard to pick favourites?? :D
As we slide into a new decade, it’s time for a look back over 2019 and the books I read – and there really were some crackers in there! But I really struggle to pick favourites, because so many of my reads are outstanding for different reasons. I can’t possibly do a Top Ten, so instead I thought I’d post some thoughts about favourite books, publishers and genres – here goes!

The Government Inspector by Nikolai Gogol Translated by Roger Cockrell
When I was pondering on the wonderful books I’d read for the 1930 Club recently, I commented that the blog was suffering from a bit of RRD (Russian Reading Deficiency). Luckily it’s a condition which is easily treated, particularly when you have as many Russian books lurking in the stacks as I do! However, a recent arrival at…
