Sobre mimI am a book lover, book collector and published author. I was fortunate to grow up in a house without TV and thus became a voracious reader at an early age. I have probably read about 10,000 books in total. One of my problems now is finding enjoyable new things to read, and I frequently re-read my favourite books - the "Alexandria Quartet" being a good example.
I was recently invited to speak at the Sunday Times Literary Festival in Oxford about E.F. Benson and my new Mapp and Lucia book, "Major Benjy".
Sobre a minha bibliotecaStill in the process of entering all my books - I suspect I probably have close to 2,000. I tend to collect everything I can by my favourite authors. Specialties include cricket, history, and neglected English novelists. I am only entering those I actually own at the moment.

Was wondering if you'd be interested in reviewing my new novel and posting your comments here as well as a few other book-related sites. Saw you liked Butcher Boy, and I thought you might like my novel since it's also about a disturbed adolescent and a bit dark. I could e-mail you the novel in an e-book format if you'd like. Let me know if you're interested. Here's a link to a summary in case you're interested:

Now, please find for happiness of the world a writer who wants to continue the delightful work of Mrs. Angela Thirkell in Trollope's Barsetshire, and you will be canonized if I have to found a religion to do it!
Thanks again for "Major Benjy"
Cheers

PS...the narrative history of the Plantagenets sounds wonderful, and I will buy one as soon as it comes out.

Thank you very much for your insightful review. Is it possible for you to post it to Amazon.com? Thank you again for the review.

sorry for the long delay in replying. This is the first time I have logged into LibraryThing for over a year. I have this aversion to paying to join groups so I just have the free membership and don't pay it much attention. Like you I am a keen reader and grew up in a home with no TV and a focus on reading. Going to the library every Saturday morning was a family ritual. We did get frustrated though because we often had read all our books by Sunday evening and had to wait the rest of the week for more. Three of our five children are also keen readers notwithstanding TV, the net, computer games etc.
My reading these days is a mix of classic fiction (always Folio Society copies), modern literary fiction (but not magic realism - it drives me nuts!) history, biography and sport (mainly football/soccer and cricket). To find new books to read I simply follow the reviews in the English papers and the New York Times as well as local papers here in Oz.
When I look at your library and your list of favourite authors etc, it seems much more serious then mine!
anyway, happy to keep in touch
cheers, Rob

I will definitely add Mapp & Lucia to my Guilty Secrets list and get on with reading some soon.

I'm immensely flattered though that someone outside of the friends I've publicised my one-week old blog to has actually read it. Thank you.
E.F.Benson is an author I've never got round to reading although I've owned one of the Mapp & Lucia omnibuses for some time.... Maybe I should promote that up my TBR mountain.
Cheers

You are probably aware that Faber & Faber are reprinting out of issue books. The modern printing process apparently allows them to print on demand so cutting the cost of holding books with limited appeal.
R C Hutchinson is one in the initial run of books available. I have had his books in the back of my mind for some time now, and he is one of the authors I scan for whenever I am in a secondhand bookshop. So far without success - but the Faber thing will allow me to sample (although it takes away the buzz of making a find in a dusty corner of a bookshop).

The idea of a London writer's group sounds like fun. Do let me know if it takes off! It's always great to meet fellows who do this strange masochistic job...!

I did read your author page. I received an undergraduate degree from the Wharton School (Univ of Penna), but I have never been actively involved in 'finance' per se. I'll have to take a look and see if your books have made it 'state-side.'
