Today I looked at some books on one of my bookshelves. I looked at And Still the Earth by Ignácio de Loyola Brandão, The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov, Apocalypse by William S. Burroughs and Keith Haring, If on a Winter's Night a Traveler by Italo Calvino, Yoga for People Who Can't Be Bothered to Do It by Geoff Dyer, To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip José Farmer, The Spies of Warsaw by Alan Furst, Goethe: Life as a Work of Art by Rüdiger Safranski, Born to be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey by Mark Dery, Goyen: Autobiographical Essays, Notebooks, Evocations, Interviews by William Goyen, and Devil to Pay in the Backlands by João Guimarães Rosa.
That Calvino novel is the very definition of delightful.
