liv: Bookshelf labelled: Caution. Hungry bookworm (bookies)
Author: Jan Morris

Details: (c) 1985 Jan Morris; Pub Vintage Books 1989; ISBN 0-394-75564-2

Verdict: Last letters from Hav is original and rather touching.

Reasons for reading it: [livejournal.com profile] papersky raves about it, and perhaps even more impressively, so does Le Guin. I also had the idea in my head that I had enjoyed some YA or children's books by the same author, but I think I'm possibly muddling her with Jan Mark (I have a slightly risible habit of picking up books by authors who share a first name with other authors that I like).

How it came into my hands: When I visited [livejournal.com profile] rysmiel in Montreal, it was on a shelf of duplicate books to give away.

Soundbite

Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.
