sheenaghpughAye, why not...
The book I am reading: Elizabeth's Spy Master : Francis Walsingham and the secret war that saved England by Robert Hutchinson
The book I am writing: Next poetry collection. Doesn't have a title yet - well actually it has about 6 but I haven't made my mind up.
The book I love most: This changes, but probably Konstantin Paustovksy's 6-vol autobiography, Story of a Life
The last book I received as a gift: A biography of William Garrow (yes, a pattern does seem to be emerging)
The last book I gave as a gift: A biography of the actor Ira Aldridge
The nearest book on my desk: Don't keep books on the desk. Most are currently on floor, due to Workmen, and the nearest is a guide to Vindolanda.

Date: 2011-03-04 07:46 pm (UTC)The Book I Am Writing: 'Darrow's Debt'. It's the 4th in the Darrow series of westerns, the first being 'Darrow's Law' (I think someone nearly stole my title)
The Book I Love Most: Impossible to chose one definitively, but I'm always happy to read any of Josephine Pullein-Thompson's Pony Club books.
The Last Book I Recieved As A Gift: A guide to the meaing of pub names
The Last Book I Gave As A Gift: 'Mrs Frisby and the Rats of NIHM', to a friend's daughter.
The Nearest Book On My Desk: 'The Democratic Genre' by Sheenagh Pugh - honest !
The Darrow westerns are profic with fan avatars. They are pure western novels, but Sheriff Darrow and Deputy Keating bear more than a passing resemblance to s-f characters played by actors with those surnames :)
