As a tribute to P.D. James who passed away recently, in her nineties, I've decided to (re)read as many of her titles as I can manage during January. Usually I read randomly, based on recommendations of friends or minds which attract my interest or because a certain subject such as Antarctica interests me. As a longterm mystery writer, P.D. James style of psychological characterisation I've always admired. And then by accident, I found her 'memoir' of one year in her seventies and was intrigued by the writerly process. As also interested in memoirs by writers, I liked the sub title of A Fragment of Autobiography on her 'Time to be in Earnest'.


Have other readers tackled a specific writer in chronological order? Anyone else tried P.D. James in this way? Luckily I've also found the Good Reads author page devoted to PD James which is useful.
