We're the first customers in the book store. I note that Boris Johnsons biography is already being discounted.
The book store staff have e-mailed to let us know that Bernhard Schlinks new novel has arrived in. It has had good reviews.
On the shopping street the Christmas decorations have gone up. This comes as something of a shock. The year, having dawdled a bit during the endless days of high summer, now seems to be sprinting towards the close.
The Economist magazine has an obituary page that is always worth reading. This weeks is written with a kindness and sensitivity and joy that makes it a delight - a sad delight - but a delight nonetheless.

Thank you for that- just beautiful to read.
Surely there could not have been a more fitting obituary. Greatness comes in many forms.
Great writing, tells a story in a way that makes the reader feel the message.
Lovely elegy.
Just cued up 'The Granddaughter' on our state of NH lending library for Kindle/tablet reading. It states there are 15 people ahead of me, but I've found it always goes faster than indicated. Looking forward to your suggestion! Wonderful Obituary. Thank you for sharing.
