It looks fascinating, and cheap on kindle so have taken a gamble and bought it. <br /><br />Thanks for the tip! Only trouble is I am accumulating unread books on my kindle as too ill to read much at the moment. But it'll be there, to look forward to.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04778257064104799002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-67754229424519109652011-10-02T21:29:09.427+01:002011-10-02T21:29:09.427+01:00Hey Z, I would def read more Francisco Goldman.

Glad to hear you have lots of books on the go at once, though I'm sure you finish many more than me!<br /><br />Hey CGP, I would love to see this netsuke collection, I wonder if it is at the 'new' museum. THWAE is probably more about the people who owned the netsuke, but still fascinating - though they are extremely rich and privileged people, but dealing with anti-Semitism.<br /><br />I used to have to read novels I didn't necessarily like at uni, so maybe that is why it is so liberating now to simply stop if I do not find the book compelling enough. Though it's prob only last ten years that I have allowed myself this luxury, I still used to force myself to finish, so silly when you think about it. My concentration is also not great since I got ill and that may be part of it.nmjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477643084619789093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-43347958123540860902011-10-02T20:16:53.096+01:002011-10-02T20:16:53.096+01:00I really want to read The Hare with Amber Eyes, I&...I really want to read The Hare with Amber Eyes, I've always been fascinated by netsuke, there's a really good collection of them in the Chambers St Museum or there used to be anyway, before it was refurbished. <br /><br />I always have 3 books on the go, one novel, one non-fiction and one poetry. But I just stick with one novel until I've finished it or given up on it. I'm much more inclined to give up on a book now than i used to be.Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25745858.post-6116470521888564602011-10-02T11:08:49.078+01:002011-10-02T11:08:49.078+01:00I read loads of books at the same time, picking th...I read loads of books at the same time, picking them up and putting them down over weeks.<br /><br />I read "The Long Night of White Chickens" by Francisco Goldman years ago, I loved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
