Shirley Jackson’s first 3 novels. Quality Paperback Book Club, 1998

1192 pages Joseph McElroy / Women and Men Knopf / Second printing, May 1987

Christopher Isherwood / All the Conspirators Metheun, 1984

William Golding / Darkness Visible Bantam Windstone, 1981

I had to run errands. Stopped off at a thrift store after lunch. Two are worse for wear, but I hadn’t seen that Modern Library dust jacket for Forster before. Love in the Ruins might be the most underwhelming Avon cover (from Avon’s heyday no less) I’ve ever seen.

William Faulkner / Knight’s Gambit Signet, 1956

I bought these recent books, Inger Christensen is a writer I have wanted to read and excited for the Tawada essays. Also mail from Revolving Books online, I could not resist the bundle of Mary McCarthy 📚✨

1978 box set of Graham Greene paperbacks. #grahamgreene #penguinpaperbacks
