Myth & Moor update

I'm out of the office due to health issues, but hope to be back tomorrow with more book recommendations for you.

"She���d opened the book she bought today. She���d started to read, from the beginning, quite quietly, out loud. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us. The words had acted like a charm. They���d released it all, in seconds. They���d made everything happening stand just far enough away. It was nothing less than magic. Who needs a passport? Who am I? Where am I? What am I? I���m reading."  

- Ali Smith (from the Autumn volume of her "Seasonal Quartet")
