Thanks for the thumbs up for Byatt's "Little Black Book of Short Stories". I'm adding it to my wish list. I really liked "Matisse Stories" and "Possesion." I'm less enthusiastic about some of her more recent books.
no, reference books are great! I'm a word nerd, too! I'm not sure why I thought you were an English major, maybe it was the reference in combination with the Lit Crit books...haha
so, are you an english major? (the reference books are hinting in that direction...)
" "virilia: A man's privy members, the cutting off of which was felony by the common law, whether the party consented or not" (Uh, that isn't one of the illustrated ones.) "*snort!* Thank goodness!
Interesting collection on your shelves! What did you think of The Word Museum? it looks like somehting I'd enjoy.Aimee
