I'll try to keep posting while I'm at home, but it might be a bit more sporadic.
1.) The blog post - is Alice's lovely post about the prospect of reading Ivy Compton-Burnett - including a quotation from Virginia Woolf on ICB which somehow I had never read before.
2.) The link - I know some people don't have the high tolerance for cute pictures of cats that I have (it's why the internet was invented!) but I doubt even the hardest heart could resist ALL of the 50 cute pictures found here. My favourite is actually the one above, entirely cat-less. (You might have to click to enlarge it.)
3.) The book - John Murray/Hodder & Stoughton recently sent me George Bernard Shaw's Love Among the Artists. You know how I love a reprint series, especially if the reprints in question are slightly unusual choices. I hadn't heard of this, but I'm definitely keen to read more GBS, particularly one which will cross 1900 of my Century of Books list (although written in 1881). It's about 'three wayward geniuses', according to the blurb - two pianists and an actress, contrasted with socialites at whom Shaw pokes fun. Sounds great! More info on Love Among the Artists here, although I've had a hunt without being able to find the other reprints that they're doing in this series (and have lost the sheet they sent me.)
