“I hate to read new books. Contemporary writers may generally be divided into two classes: one’s friends or one’s foes. Of the first we are compelled to think too well, and of the last we are disposed to think too ill, to receive much genuine pleasure from the perusal, or to judge fairly of the merits of either.” ~William Hazlitt
I don’t read that many contemporary books but have been occasionally pleasantly surprised by some (very occasionally!)
Thanks for hosting, Sherry!
I’m sorry, #9, which just says A, is a mistake. It accidentally entered while I was trying to type a title in. Sorry about that! Thanks for hosting this each week, Sherry.
I read plenty of new books, but I appreciate your quote at the top of the post. I’ve determined that this year I’m going to read more old books, as well as re-reading some favorites — just for the joy of it! Thanks for your welcome here!
LOVE this weekly list…always good books to check out.
Thanks, and have a great rest of your weekend.
