I do love a book recommendation ... this is a great little selection. I adore the Nan Shepherd but the others are all new to me. I'll be adding them to one of the many lists I keep. I don't know if you follow Matt Inwood on Substack but his newsletter today talked a bit about why we gather books - it's beautiful writing I'm sure you would enjoy. B
That's a fantastic newsletter. I wasn't following him but I am now – thanks for the recommendation. My yet-to-be-read books are stacking up all over my flat. I rotate them once in a while and usually something comes to the top of the pile, as if by magic, and that's how I finally get around to read it. It's nice to know I'm not alone in gathering them.
