Polari update - 'Ooooooohhhh - bold - heartface.' That proably isn't going to make sense to most people. Ha ha - I.Tomorrow's recommendation is ‘nante' dissimilar.

One of the best reads of last year - you don't see enough blemmyes on book covers these days. Bona. Yours - I.

Seven days - seven books - day the last - 'Greenmantle' by John Buchan
Thought to finish with an underappreciated classic - the second outing for the square jawed action hero Richard Hannay - the '39 Steps' is good but this is superior - it deserves to be better known.
It has been an interesting experiment - to share a book a day - thanks to others influence my list of 'must buy' grows ever longer. I'm quite impressed by my self-restraint - nothing too willfully obscure - not a mention of Babylonian theology - must try harder next time. @Scotshave - its been dolly to varda your livre de poche - that's your actual French. Ha ha. Cheers - I.

Excellent, Iain. Is that Hartnell's book? I had a quick flick through it in Waterstone's last night. Hopefully, my copy should be with me by the end of the week.
It is - the book is beautifully illustrated with all manner of curious things - I'm sure you will enjoy it - cheers - I.Excellent, Iain. Is that Hartnell's book? I had a quick flick through it in Waterstone's last night. Hopefully, my copy should be with me by the end of the week.

Thanks @Digimonkey. How are you getting on with ‘Underland'?View attachment 46855
I felt that I hadn't been 'willfully obscure' enough in the last seven days. Let's redress the balance. @Scotshave - a pig to read - I think its the guy's PHD - lacking in any authorial finesse - at all. On the other hand - he has obviously been translating cuneiform - for years - he knows his shit. Hard work - as I say - but there is a straight line between their culture and ours. No pictures. Yours - I.
