• More Die Of Heartbreak, Saul Bellow
• Mr Sammler's Planet, Saul Bellow
• Collected Stories, Saul Bellow

He scares me, Bellow, as he's supposed to be "difficult". I've got a few of his books but never read them. I really must get over it and dive in.

I know. I've tried and failed myself plenty of times. This time I'm going in.

I've got the following of his on the shelves:

• Dangling Man;
• The Victim;
• The Adventures Of Augie March;
• Seize The Day;
• Henderson The Rain King;
• Herzog;
  
• Mr Sammler's Planet;
• More Die Of Heartbreak; and
• Collected Stories

So all I need is The Dean's December, Humboldt's Gift, The Actual, and Ravelstein to complete his fiction. Add to that It All Adds Up and To Jerusalem And Back, and I need never buy another Saul Bellow again.

Then I can get on with buying all of Philip Roth's books.

Yes, Roth - there's another one lol.

I've got Dean's December and Humbolt and another that escapes me, dwelling there in the stacks behind my computer desk. I seem to recall it was Amis jr who got me thinking of Bellow.

Three Days to Never-Tim Powers
The Telephone Gambit:Chasing Alexander Graham Bell's Secret- Seth Shulman

These are technically for my dear wonderful husband, but since he's reading our copy of John Adams, I'm sure he won't mind me grabbing one of these ahead of him

Now, which one do I pick first????

John Adams-David McCullough

I've been wanting to read that.

 

[abecedarian]

I've been wanting to read that.

My dh is reading it now and is enjoying it very much. From the excerpts he's read to me, I will too. McCullough is a good writer.

I've been tempted to buy it when it stores, but I have to keep telling myself that I have more than enough to read at home.
