I'll be out of touch for the next few days as I take care of the Hound of the Baskervilles for Billy and Jim who will be in Charlottesville to watch the Horned Frogs crush the Cavaliers. But given free run of their palatial Gothic manse, with its crennelated battlements and mouldering corridors, I should be able to catch up just a bit on my reading. The books I'm taking along are: the previously alluded to Conan Doyle; Prof. von Hayek's The Road to Serfdom, which promises to be a tough slog; Homer; John Hale's magnum opus; Herbert Butterfield's classic The Origins of Modern Science, and my next novel, Lawrence Durrell's Justine, which has already defeated me once. Wish me luck!
356 days, 49 novels, 49 books of non-fiction to go.
