Rogue Herries is excellent, a kind of witty, bodice-ripper historical novel.<br /><br />I think I may have a biography of him, but of course I can't find it.<br /><br />I hope we find time to fit in all the books we want to read next year!Frisbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394353185610393979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25137929.post-36613411157216727712010-12-31T19:16:59.354-08:002010-12-31T19:16:59.354-08:00My library has 18 of his books, though not The Gre...My library has 18 of his books, though not The Green Mirror. I sort of like B authors actually. Sometimes I wander the stacks in my library pulling out some unknown title and wondering if I should check it out and give it a try, but as we don't keep dust jackets I never know what I'm getting into. Anyway, my ears also pricked up at the mention of Howards End, like SFP it is one of my favorites as well. Thanks for the holiday wishes, by the way.
