The Traveling Library
I have many thousands of books in my library and I have to go overseas soon for 18 months. This poses a problem. Which books do I take with me? I can only take 25kg all up, so the question is a vexed one.
My Choices at the moment are:
Volume 2 of John Fowles Diaries
Vol 3 and 4 of Virginia Woolf's Diaries and Letters
The Charles Brasch memoir
Clive Jame's book on culture
Edward Saids book on Culture and Imperialism
I think that will be all I can take. When my wife comes over later she will be able to bring more.
One plus however is that I have 30 eBooks on my mobile phone and they weigh nothing, in fact I will load another 100 or so until I can find the local library.
