It was a pretty adventurous book club, but it did take some selling to get them to read Sinclair.

I've been meaning to get City of Disappearances - I'm sure I'd like it. I enjoyed Edge of the Orison, and it reminded me (again) that I need to tackle Joyce one of these days. Dubliners is about as far as I've gone. I've been reading the Letters of Groucho Marx, and there's some funny stuff about Joyce in there (believe it or not). Apparently Thornton Wilder believed that Groucho was referenced in Finnegan's Wake. There's also a brief correspondence between Groucho and Peter Lorre (!) about Ulysses.

My Sinclair semi-obsession dates from a trip to London about five years ago. I came across Lights Out (on Amazon, I think), and read it before, during, and after my week in London. From there, I just kept going. I convinced my former book club to read White Chappell, Scarlet Tracings (it was also my first time reading it), and they voted it "Worst Book of the Year".

I'd like to get some of Sinclair's more recent poetry collections (esp. The Firewall), but they seem to be very scarce in the US. Also hoping to get back to London, preferably after the exchange rate improves.

Hi Palimpsestuous,

I was wondering where you got your copy of Tish and Pish. I adore Stephen Fry, and would love to get my grubby little mitts on a copy of it.

Thanks!

Thank you Julie! I have to admit that I gave up on his "Lights Out for the Territory" but maybe I need to give him another chance. In any case, thanks for the suggestion.

Just had to give you a shout out since your user name is a play on my favorite word. I think I left my heart in London too- I buy too many books wherein I retrace long days crisscrossing the city. I even find myself thumbing through London A to Z from time to time to see if my memory holds up. Ackroyd's "London" is a great one to open to any old random page and start reading. I just finished reading "The Italian Boy" which features a lot of detail about Spitalfields, Covent Garden, Whitechapel et al. in the 1830's.

Cheers,
Sean

Hi Julie, A link for this just arrived in my inbox, it made more sense than it would have done a couple of weeks ago... www.britac.ac.uk/events/2006/hyperides/f...

I only got a hundred pages or so into “Swanns Way”, but still have memories of it, and a couple of quotes in my journal. After so many plaudits, I think I was disappointed it didn’t grab me more consistently; perhaps I should have done a little judicious skimming too. I do remember feeling a real empathy with many of the ideas, and the thoughts. The perception that seemingly trivial episodes can bring back such acute memories of happiness or despair, is perhaps one of the tenets that distinguish humanity.

Anyway, between us, we’ve convinced me to have another go.

Glad to know your heart is in the right place – London ;-)

Hello palimpsestuous, Can’t sleep, and dipping into random libraries. You have some lovely books that I keep adding to my Amazon wish list. We share some of my favorites too; “The Hours” (a great book, and perfect movie – “Wonder Boys” was another), lots of Murakami and Evelyn Waugh, “Ghostwritten”, “Moab”…

Have you finished “Swanns Way”, I keep being told much I should love being lost in Proust, but haven’t managed it yet – must try harder

(I’m about to look you up in my dictionary).
