Book Wages
Ah, payment in the form of books! Stuart and I spent the afternoon helping sort books for the Echolocation Book Sale (7 King College Circle, Monday and Tuesday). And I have come away with a haul. I got The Female of the Species by Lionel Shriver, Volume 5 of The Diary of Virginia Woolf, The Golden Apples by Eudora Welty, Sarah Bastard’s Notebook by Marian Engel. Bliss and other Stories by Katherine Mansfield, Poison Penmanship by Jessica Mitford and Democracy and A Book of Common Prayer by Joan Didion.
In news of great satisfaction, I have a 100 page portfolio compiled, of which I am immensely pleased. And a date for brunch in the morn.
