- as in The Public Library of Multnomah County - MultCoLib familiarly - and oughtn't we all be familiar with our favorite library? - because this is the month I allow myself again to read.
- The Color of Magic, by Terry Pratchett (followed by The Light Fantastic, Equal Rites, Wyrd Sisters, Small Gods . . . and we'll just have to see how much further I can make it through his ouevre this month)
- Out of Sheer Rage: Wrestling with D.H. Lawrence
- The Mourner's Dance
- The Body Speaks
- The Silent Traveller in Oxford
- Talking Hands
- Mummies of Urumchi
- A Needle in the Right Hand of God
- Girls of Riyadh
- Paris out of hand
Time's Magpie- Language in Hand
- Visible Thought
- Suspensions of Perception
- Odd Perceptions
- Visible Cities: Vienna and Krakow
- Exploration of a Drowned Landscape
and interspersed with those
- a handful bound in buckram by George Sand (The Country Waif, The Haunted Pool, Countess of Rudolstadt, Indiana)
- and one by Pearl S. Buck (This Proud Heart)
- also Greenwillow by B.J. Chute which I read over and over when I was in high school and look forward to now with much fondness
- plus, The Garden of the Finzi-Continis - if it's not too wrenching a read and if I can bear wrenching . . .
- and They're a Weird Mob - about an Italian travelling in Australia
And then more books about hand language and body language and the language of dance which I will largely skim.I don't know. Do you think that will do?
My online library account tells me I also have waiting for me on the hold shelf:
But I don't think the others I've put on hold: are going to come in on time ...
(At least I've finished up my uber-nerdy read which has been allowed in a non-reading month under the rubric of Necessary Research for Writing Projects so I can plunge right in- - yes, yes, Fritz, don't worry - I'm using "plunge" merely as a figure of speech. Never fear. I will be seen and functioning during this coming month - I might even make bread tomorrow!)
