Dover Thrifty
I got a bit too excited about Dover Thrift Editions this week. This is one time when my unfortunately light wallet and my book greed nicely coincided. For under a tenner, I got:
Great Short Stories by American Women – ed. Candace Ward
Five Great Short Stories – Anton Chekov
Electra – Sophocles
Goblin Market and Other Poems – Christina Rossetti
The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Stories – Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Quite a nice little haul, I think! Having worked in publishing for a year now, mainly reading new books and manuscripts, I had a hankering for some old school literature. Going from a Medieval Literature PhD to a commercial publisher was quite a change and I revelled in the newness, but I think that I need to start mixing it up again. I do find that my reading tastes go in cycles, and that one book makes suggestions for the next – who knows where these will take me?
