Mary Shelley: A Biography by Muriel Spark
Dec. 15th, 2007 06:14 amI finished In Cold Blood in the bunker this week. I certainly have things to say about it, but everything has fled in the knowledge that I READ THE WRONG BOOK. I called my friend to let her know I was finished and we could now discuss the book (I read this for a friend who lamented having no one to discuss it with) and she said, "But I wanted you to read Executioner's Song."
Needless to say, I do not regret In Cold Blood, and it will probably make a good study of contrast to Executioner's Song, but I am not in the mood to read another true crime just now. So I picked Muriel Spark's biography of Mary Shelley as my next "bunker book." (Bunker books need to be easily put down when work shows up, but engaging enough to pass the time. Usually they are a little dry, the sort of thing I would not avoid chores to do, but honestly want to read.)

( Creative frustration in the lives of 19C women. )
( The problem of education and similarities in the lives of Mary Shelley and Louisa May Alcott )
( Mary Shelley: A Divided Life )
