Anticipation

 

Last Friday afternoon I 'spent' the book tokens I got as a result of the talk I did at this year's Lit Seminar. Have now accumulated quite a few things to read ahead what with the books acquired, the magazines I purchased just prior to those acquisitions, and various bits and pieces I'll need to read ahead of next year's teaching and deciding on material for staging. This is all very satisfactory for this reader. As I so often do, I'm putting together a little checklist of what I'm committed to reading in the next three months or so - and the sense of anticipation is delightful.

As was completing The Museum of Innocence today. Thinking of moving on to Daniel Deronda as my next big fictional read.
