March

I finished The Deep Field last night; it's a lovely book and I am really glad I own it. Now I am reading March which is a library book. It's due back in a couple of weeks so I will have to read it quickly, get it read before I go to Melbourne in 10 days.

The Deep Field

Another of my recent batch from Leura books, I started The Deep Field last night. It's a lovely book in great condition. It's also a lovely book to read, a beautifully written story set far, far into the future. The writing has an antiquated feel to it, so it's an odd counterbalance to its futuristic setting and I am really enjoying it so far.

Edens Lost

Very quickly finished David Malouf's slim volume and almost through Edens Lost; plenty of reading time with recent trips to Melbourne and Sydney. Edens Lost is part of a recent haul from Leura. I've also had quotes for some of the really hard books to find, and they are WAY out of the league of this little clutch - over $100-200! I will put the details on here when I have a little more time.

Picked up Ice Sation for $10 at an airport shop.

Fly Way Private Man, Come Back Peter

Plenty of reading time going to Melbourne for a few days. Finished The Private Man on the flight home and now reading David Malouf's 1982 novel(lla) Fly Away Peter.

A Private Man

Finished Morgan's Run last night. Now reading A Private Man... not the edition with the "girly" cover, either!!

Morgan's Run

Began reading this chunky book by Colleen McCullough last night... and that's what I'm off to do right now ... carry on reading it!

The Washerwoman's Dream

This is a partly fictionalised account of a fascinating life - of a woman who arrived in Australia in the 188os with her father. She had the toughest of existences, just incredible. I started the book yesterday after finishing The World Beneath.
