another package (large and lumpy!) from Ryan today! two more books, and oh am i hungry for more reads...one, a paperback copy of a favorite (i borrowed from him almost five years ago, never had my own copy)... The Secret History. i'm also reading The Little Friend, by the same author, Donna Tartt. very good stuff, juicy without being banal.
and funny postcards, including a classis mid-80's Duran Duran image...where did he find that? and drawings, and poetry...what goodies! hmm...what to send him from the Cote d'Azur? one of those classic men's swimsuits? you know the ones..giant Jackie O super chic sunglasses? postcards from the Grand Prix? really bad British tabloid newspapers? must put some serious thought to this...good project.
