As the meaning of home is blurred for me right now, I can't carry a lot of paper books with me any time, however I can feed as many as I may want to my computer. Not to mention subscription services like Scribd/Everand. I think I read a single paper book this year only.
Quote from: DavidW on April 17, 2024, 06:20:53 AMEverytime I rebel against ebooks my presbyopia ends up pulling me back to the large fonts on my Kindle. And no matter what when I travel I'm packing a Kindle and not several books.
Mea culpa, guys! I meant audio books, not e-books.

I think this is really special, Sigrun Richter has this utterly nonchalant way of playing Pierre Gaultier, it must be phrasing I guess, which is magical! Joyful, dancing.

Last post by Harry - Today at 06:02:11 AMBritish Tone Poems, Volume 1.
See back cover for details.
Recording venue BBC Hoddinott Hall, Cardiff Bay, Cardiff, Wales; 14– 16 September 2016.
For me this is one of the best projects launched by Chandos, and ultimately very satisfyingly performed and recorded. There is for me no blemish on this performance. This is quality enjoy time, as simple as that.
It took me several minutes to get this posted. Several attempts failed. So it begins seriously to undermine this site! Posting the images took even longer. And only one at the time.

Last post by Spotted Horses - Today at 05:48:23 AMQuote from: vers la flamme on April 17, 2024, 06:54:18 AMConrad—like James, another writer I've been meaning to get around to for ages. I have Heart of Darkness, which I've tried before but never finished. Maybe that short book will prove as effective an introduction as Turn of the Screw had for James. Anyway I shall check this out, thanks.
I finished Turn of the Screw. I was blown away by the author's use of ambiguity. Truly unlike anything else I've ever read. Can't wait to read more James... I have Portrait on the way to me, though I understand it's a completely different kind of book.
I'm an admirer or Conrad but Heart of Darkness never really resonated by me. Lord Jim, Typhoon, Victory are titles that stand out in my memory from my period of reading a lot of Conrad.

Last post by Harry - Today at 04:20:03 AMHUNGARIAN SERENADE.
See back cover for all details.
This is by all means an interesting disc, well presented and recorded. Hungarian flavour pur sang! The combination of composers is not an recurring event in music like this, so this modern interpretation is more than welcome. Anyways very enjoyable and recommended.

Last post by Ganondorf - Today at 04:03:49 AMI read Portrait some months ago. A magnificent book though a trifle unbalanced. I enjoyed the latter half more.
Speaking of James, I started to read The Wings of The Dove recently while visiting a library. Blown away by the very first chapter already.
