We tried to get our friend Marjory Wurn, an obsessive reader, to create a list of a dozen or so books she had read and valued during the past year. After much delay, she said she couldn't but could construct a list of books scattered about her reading chair. "This would be pretty much the same as what you asked for, since these are the books I've come back to, again and again." "All right," we answered, tho disappointed. Here is the list she gave us, books Marjory found scattered about her reading chair.
