I love your sweet kitty cat.
I just recently picked up The Golden Notebook as well; I don't know much about it, but I'm really looking forward to it.
@@literarydevery2333 I’ve never heard of it, and suddenly I’m finding out it has a bit of a reputation. 🙂
Ismail Kadare is one of my favourite authors. I hope you enjoy it when you get around to it. Nice haul 😊
@@RaynorReadsStuff Thank you for letting me know. All of his books look interesting.
Looks like a cool biography there of Runciman for sure!
@@TriumphalReads I’m very interested but want to read more by Sir. R. himself first. I’m now learning about _The Eastern Schism._ 🤔
Found a Doris Lessing short story on my shelf; it was about her family's travel through Russia in 1924. Consider her writing if you need a palate cleanser from Runciman's dense text. This story cleansed my rough travels through our Charlotte's French Revolutionary Europe.
Our Charlotte has advice: "If every man should consider his fellow man as a brother, the tie is surely strengthened between unhappy men." She told me to tell you.
@@PatriciaCrabtree-wm8xd Somewhere I have a small short story collection by Lessing. Given the mixed reviews _Golden_ seems to be getting I may read the intros, give it a glance, then restore it to the neighborhood box.
Gosh darn I need to find a novel by Charlotte Br - - I mean Smith.
@@davidnovakreadspoetry Our Charlotte comes to me through Thriftbooks. Her poetry is due in my mailbox shortly with my Lulu stash. GHM...
I also talked about The Golden Notebook!!! You’re the second Booktuber ever to mention it. 😂😂😂
@@MIDDLEoftheBookMARCH This is so hilarious! I’m going to search to see if I can find your video. 🤣

It's been a few years since I read the Golden Notebook (in that same edition). It's wild and frustrating and difficult but worth a try. It's also essentially five different books interleaved .
Who said writers write novels because they can't write short stories and they write short stories who can't write poetry? Maybe Dave.
@@PatriciaCrabtree-wm8xd ha! Must have been.
And they write poetry because they can't make booktube videos. And they make booktube videos because they can't carve their initials into a desk....
@@JamesRuchala Am easily confused...who carves initials?
@@JamesRuchala I have a book of Lessing short stories (I think, if I can find it), and that was where I intended to start - now I’m not so sure.
