The Bloomsbury Group

[Ivan]

Are you a Bloomsbury Groupie? I think I may qualify. I thoroughly enjoy reading books by them and about them. One such book (about them) that I highly recommend is Bloomsbury Pie: The Making of the Bloomsbury Boom by Regina Marler - terrific looks at the Bloomsbury phenom (and wildly entertaining).

I also enjoy novels that feature them as characters, three favorites are:

The Hours

Mitz: The Marmoset of Bloomsbury

The White Garden: A Novel of Virginia Woolf

what are some of your favorites?

Yes, I, too, am a junkie.

I've got a couple of art books of Vanessa Bell and Charleston House and Dora Carrington - lovely books - and I just ordered Virginia Woolf, Vanessa Bell: Remembering St Ives along with To the Lighthouse and The Common Reader: First Series, Annotated Edition. The first is just a picture book, the second is something I'm bound and determined to read before I die and the third is next month's BYT selection.
