Can I Borrow a Few Books?
Billy Beck is going through his library and listing some tomes that, if his house were burning down, or he needed to hurry away to parts unknown, he would attempt to gather up and take with him. As I went through the list this morning, I noted a half-a-dozen, or so, that I had read, and own, myself.
Thanks, Billy.
Happy to help if I can, J.
That list doesn’t equal ten percent of my collection that’s in the house. This is enormously difficult. I’m still eyeing Mencken and trying to work it out. I’m pretty surely down to the “Crestomathy” and “The American Language”, but that means three other titles don’t make the cut, and the whole thing is very hard.
That’s why it’s taken me so long to get to work on this.
