Just what I don't need- more books on the TBR!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-53726310960924434512011-03-13T10:19:59.762+11:002011-03-13T10:19:59.762+11:00Exactly!

I read both types about Rudolf Nureyev, Dancer (fiction) and then Julie Kavanaugh's biography. The fiction was an easier read, but lacked the richness of historical perspective of the biography.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend,<br />GenieGenie -- Paris and Beyondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758801373365481655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-39904358561385499112011-03-11T01:03:14.028+11:002011-03-11T01:03:14.028+11:00They are such an intriguing pair I think Susan.

And their connectivity. <br /><br />Fiona- my library has what seems to be the most recent biography of The Lambs- Sarah Burton's A Double LIfe. Fairly available here, not sure about in China of course! I came across a fascinating review of it just now- and now I'm even more keen to read it, oh when to fit it in?<br />http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/books/reviews/a-double-life-a-biography-of-charles-and-mary-lamb-by-sarah-burton-536308.html<br /><br />Ah, but Kathy it did give me stacks of interesting and new words! And it wasn't a bad book, just not the book I really wanted to read.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13187730620736345378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-70384752305831593272011-03-08T23:17:41.223+11:002011-03-08T23:17:41.223+11:00I'm sorry your detour didn't lead you to s...I'm sorry your detour didn't lead you to something you would have enjoyed more.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6261834677579395686.post-12383217737220116322011-03-08T12:49:47.060+11:002011-03-08T12:49:47.060+11:00Thank god for iodine is all I can say.
