september : Copenhagen, recent reading, &c

It’s September again, and the annual congress of the Association internationale de bibliophile (A.I.B.) will be held in Copenhagen 7-14 September. I am looking forward to the gathering, in particular the chance to see the Arnamagnæan manuscripts at the university of Copenhagen. And the surprises to be encountered in a city I’ve never before visited.

recent reading :

— Michael Innes. Appleby on Ararat (1941). Penguin Books, [1961].

— Michael Innes. Appleby at Allington [1968]. Penguin Books, [1970].
It was, Appleby reflected uncharitably, the successful Englishman’s chose route to going soft.
