I read a lot.
Favorites include The Charioteer, Greensleeves, The Color Purple, Neverwhere, Watership Down, most of Tom Stoppard’s plays, The Three Musketeers, The Chosen, The Ghost of Opalina, Jane Eyre, I Capture the Castle, The Blue Castle, Elizabeth Peters’ Amelia Peabody mysteries, The Ground Beneath Her Feet, almost anything by Diana Wynne Jones, Gary Schmidgall’s splendid biography of Oscar Wilde (The Stranger Wilde), James Herriot’s books, Lolita, The Night Thoreau Spent in Jail (oo, I need to reread that!), Angels in America, The Time Traveler’s Wife, and mercy, just dozens of things I can’t remember in the slightest.
I saw your post at another site about wanting to buy a used copy of The Ghost of Opalina, and had to mention Two Lakes Press is promising to reprint it one of these days. Check out their site at: http://twolakespress.com/default.aspx
Unfortunately, I’ve been waiting to hear something for about three years, and no news yet!
Best,
Alice
That would be brilliant! I’m tentatively thrilled!
Alice and Jenny,
I’ll try to make it a bit less tentative. I’ll be emailing people with an Opalina update shortly. Sorry for the delay.
