Today was very much a reading day - although I'd hoped to get one more read as these are all rereads, and tend to come in at the 160 rather than 200 page count.
XLIX: Richard Cowper, Kuldesak (1972)
L: Richard Cowper, Time Out of Mind (1973)
LI: Richard Cowper, The Road to Corlay (1978)
Kuldesak is the real disappointment - postholocaust humans living like rabbits in underground tunnels. Time Out of Mind is a retread of Domino, with the protagonist having a vision of someone he has yet to meet and an instruction to kill someone. Finally - yes I skipped chronology - the first volume of the White Bird of Kinship trilogy, where the pipes of the martyr Thomas in a post-diluvial Britain are passed to a new leader. I had forgotten the present/near future thread of the narrative, and confess I can't see what purpose it serves beyond Cowper likes these double time schemes.
The post brought The Feminine Eye, which covers the right people, at least:
Looking through, however, I see there are a couple of names I've overlooked, and more books need to be ordered. Sigh.
