Rules of the bookstore

[spatch]

If the Orson Welles biography is on the shelf right next to the Ed Wood biography, you have to buy them both.





Because it's serendipity, that's why.

Is that the Simon Callow biography of Welles?

[spatch]

Why yes, yes, it is.
I'd be reading it now but I'm in the middle of a neat biography of Adam Worth, Victorian criminal mastermind and the inspiration for Sherlock Holmes' nemesis Moriarty.

Fabulous! I have that Welles biography also, and (being deeply embroiled in a cerebral feminist doctoral manifesto (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1568581939/sr=8-1/qid=1147468328/103-8513249-5719052)) have not started it yet. If you want to form a two-person book club and read Callow together, send word [mike at jay pee jay dot net] when you're ready to start.

(And remind me to recommend some Coney Island / horse racing mystery novels to you later on.)
