Don't Walk

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend. (Copyright Russ Bernie and Company, Inc)

Cooee I'm Back

Sorry about that now where was ? Gosh was it over 4 months ago, so many many brain cells have flowed away under the bridge since then. Alas up until a week ago not many books had been read as my revision rather got in the way. I think it is the first time that I have suceeded in not being distracted by a book whilst revising (most notably during A levels and finals I decided that I absolutely had to read Lord of the Rings - 18 hours is my record - might explain my less than impressive degree result!) However, reading is back on the agenda and the subject (as mentioned earlier) is "The Clergy in Literature". So far I have had a first read through of Agnes Grey (Anne Bronte - visit stuck-in-a-book for comments); Muriel Spark's "The Abbess of Crewe; Alan Bennetts "Bed among the Lentils" and I am currently reading excerpts from the diary of Francis Kilvert (1870-1879). I shall comment on these books as we do them in class over the next two terms. They are bound to result in some very lively discussions as it has been on our topic list (which gets ever longer) for about 7 years. Classes start next Tuesday so it will be good to having something to write about. Can't guarantee that I will write every day but I may get a chance to read some other books too - alas Moby Dick is still waiting patiently in the bedside cabinet.

Welcome back!
Is Agnes Grey a first read for you? Look forward to hearing whether or not you agree with my adulations...

Glad you are back - even if it took me a month to find you! Enjoy the clergyman in literature - I have all the fun of the clergyman as husband and truth is sometimes stranger than fiction!
I'll look forward to your reading notes.
