Art Garfunkel famously keeps track of the books he has read since 1968. As of writing this, the count is 1327 (he does not add a review). I thought I could do something similar but I am adding short reviews of books as I read them, and I rake my brain over what I read over the last decades. This is, evidently, a work-in-progress: there are 649 reviews so far. Titles marked with a * are particular favorites.
Josephine Tey: Daughter of Time
Ms Tey, whom I had never heard of before, is, it turns out, very highly regarded, and this book in particular is considered, by some, as even better than the most revered Agatha Christie. I can see that it is well-written and well-executed. It is also boring and so very English in the most obnoxious way.
