    Thank you for sharing your experiences as you navigate this transition. I think people who don’t read very often not only miss out on joyful experiences, but also the great comfort they can bring. It is great to see you again and of course I couldn’t help but think of how Steve always says “The Brattle will provide.” I’ve ordered myself a copy of The Ladies of Llangollen, and can’t wait to read about this lovely friendship. I look forward to seeing your future videos and hearing more about David.

    Love that the Brattle bookshop is link between your old and new reading life. And love seeing all the books that you and David had selected. And after I just added This Republic of Suffering to my Kindle TBR, I saw that she has a memoir coming out in August, so I pre-ordered Necessary Trouble as well.

I notice you mentioned Drew Gilpin Faust and wanted to let you know that next month she has a memoir coming out Necessary Trouble about growing up in Virginia in the 1950's and 1960's and it is getting rave reviews.

    It seems shockingly impertinent to extend sympathies to a total stranger three thousand miles away, but for the shared humanity of being a wife and mother : but your post was deeply moving.
    My husband, baby daughter and I lived in DC during the fall and winter of 1978, where he was researching material for his doctorate in the Library of Congress. Our house is stacked full of books in American history and literature and sons of those times looked fascinating. Thank you.

      @@HannahsBooks Thank you for replying. He was doing his Doctorate in American Civil War history:"James Gordon Bennett and the New York Herald" at Trinity College Oxford. A long time ago now! He now has published 4 books on The Franco Prussian war, these were done when he retired from working for The Royal Mail. We are keenly interested in history and retain a keen interest in Ancient History and American History. Now in our seventies and he in failing health we will never visit the States again.I would love to visit Alaska and New England. I love your Chanel and a completely different love of the weird I also watch Michael K.Vaughan. He makes me laugh...but you make me think! Thank you.

      Thank you. He published them in adversity. I don't know what the American Publishing Industry is like, but here in Britain,unless one writes something that is "fashionable" with the absurd obsessions of today,they don't want to know! Yes booktube wonderful. I find it quite remarkable that actually,there are a lot of really interesting topics out there; it's like your own private college lecture and a "friend" to guide you. Thank you again. I love what's in your bag. Ha. It's confirmed, I'm a closset geek❤️

    If you are interested in N.C. Wyeth, I highly recommend visiting the studio and house he lived in. It is all part of the Brandywine River Museum, best known for its extensive collections of art work by the whole extended Wyeth family of artists. It’s located in southeast Pennsylvania. The museum gives special tour of the studio and is rescued by transport from the museum, the building of which is an old mill.

    I love Oscar Wilde. I recently bought a book with three of his plays; The importance of being earnest, lady Windemeres fan, and one other I've forgotten.
    Yes, I love the things people leave in used books. A lot of times I find newspaper clippings.

    I have such mixed feelings about Richard Ellman. I liked the Wilde book. However when Brenda Bauer, author of "Nora," died, all the obituaries mentioned that when she spoke to Richard Ellman about writing a book about Joyce's wife, he assured her that it wasn't worth it because there was nothing to say.
    I'm glad she ignored the advice "Nora" (along with Victoria Glendinning's "Vita") remains one of my favorite biographies.
