Books read, November - a photo on Flickriver

Books read, November

            November was a messy month with bitty reading. 
Elementum: I now have nos. 1, 3 and 4, with 5 ordered, and 2 out of print. I'm savouring it slowly, one article at a time.
Top centre, a picture from a very large and heavy book about Steve McCurry, Une Vie en Images, which I'm also reading slowly (it's written by his sister Bonnie), studying the photos, learning a lot and admiring his work in the pre-digital age: to think that he just sent of the films to be processed, not knowing what the results would be.
Lamentation is the first of the Sheldrake novels I've read: it took me at least a week to get through. But it stimulated my appetite for more.
Bottom right, two pics of In Parenthesis by David Jones, which I started appropriately on November 11, but still haven't finished as it is harrowing. It tied in well with the TV programme by Peter Jackson about WWI and the trenches, which has helped me hear all the voices. The binding is ostensibly green but it changes in the light, which I have tried to show in the bottom right photo.
The others are paperbacks I've picked up here and there; Tales from the Tunnel's Mouth, scary stories for kids, Encounters with Animals - a selection of Durrell's radio talks, always lively and funny, Daisy Miller, a classic set in Vevey. Rosa Candida, a French translation of The Greenhouse. Passage de la Déroute by Swiss writer Monique Rebetez, set in Normandy near the D-Day beaches.
