RE: Current book: Great Escapes

I think the last semi-war novel I read was Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace, certainly more for the romantic motif than for other Napoleonic and Tsarist conflicts.

My mental turbulence right now would only tolerate one more season of Game of Thrones, with Dragons many Dragons.

Sorry.

Sort:  

I've read War and Peace, and also Tolstoy's Anna Karenina, both worthy reads.

I don't doubt the quality of your library at all but the classics section must be on fire.

I have some really nice hard cover editions: Caesar's Gaulic Campaign, Homer's Iliad and so on. I look out for them when I'm out and about and it's rare that I don't find myself in a book shop wherever I happen to travel, one of the best I've been in is Shakespeare and Co. in Paris. A glorious little place.

You should call this section: The shrine.(For the excellent books I mean).
Maybe it has some of the banned books that are never mentioned in Umberto Eco's novel In the Name of the Rose. 😅
No, seriously, it must be a luxury room that library of yours.

Happy rest of the day my friend!
