"A parable, rather than a novel in the ordinary sense of the term, The Sibyl is . . . a work of manifold meanings and unmistakable profundity, one that can neither be easily understood nor easily forgotten." Granville Hicks, The New Leader

It's cyclone blizzard day today in the Denver area! High winds + snow is expected to last all day. Time to hunker down and read, and hope the power stays on.
These are my Goodwill finds from yesterday. A green Virago, a book with a cool cover (with family photo inside), and a mid-20th c. work of children's lit. (Anyone read Leon Garfield? I learned about him from a Phillip Pullman essay.)

Cathythoughts Once your safe .. sounds like the best place to be .. I don‘t know this author ... but love how you found him through Pullman ... your on the trail ! I love this literary trail ... you just never know who you might find ... say hello to the snow for me ❤️❄️ 6y
Leftcoastzen Wow those look great ,especially a Virago! It‘s always charming yet odd to find an old photo in a book .Stay safe. 6y

merelybookish @Cathythoughts The literary trail! Yes, I love that aspect of reading and how one book will lead us to another. 6y
merelybookish @Leftcoastzen Thanks! Finding a photo, it's cool and a bit sad 6y
merelybookish @RealBooks4ever @batsy @erzascarletbookgasm Thanks! We have food and books and blankets so we should be okay. (Although no wine...🤔) 6y
