I've just finished J.M. Barrie's The Little Minister. Very funny, cute, touching; a good read. I intend to go home and read A Window in Thrums when I am done here. For me, who has only previously had the pleasure of reading Barrie's Peter Pan, a thoroughly delightful book, I find these other works of his a pleasant surprise. Ripping good stuff. I've also read his (albeit short) play A Woman Shows Her Medals- wonderful and touching.
Also, on the subject of Barrie, I am reading J.M. Barrie and the Lost Boys by Andrew Birkin- informative and interesting- and Barries semi-autobiographical work The Greenwood Hat- lovely so far.

It's New Years Day, just like the day before; Same old skies of grey, same empty bottles on the floor. Another year's gone by, and I was thinking once again, How can I take this losing hand and somehow win? Just give me One Good Year To get my feet back on the ground. I've been chasing grace; Grace ain't so easily found One bad hand can devil a man, chase him and carry him down. I've got to get out of here, just give me One Good Year! |
