AtD -- How Will You Read It?

[Lary Wallace]

With dust jacket removed from the book, I'll be both lying in bed and sitting in my leather swivel office chair. Impressive or otherwise notable passages will sometimes be bracketed with a straight line, corresponding to a brief annotation in the endpapers. Those who have read past p. 41 are encouraged to concur with the beauty and imagination of this description of Chicago, that somber city: 

"Out the window in the distance, contradicting the prairie, a mirage of downtown Chicago ascended to a kind of lurid acropolis, its light as if from nightly immolation warped to the red end of the spectrum, smoldering as if always just about to explode into open flames."

On the bus, on the Tube, in the bath, in bed, in the Lucknow Tandoori
- but mostly in the big pink chair by the window looking out on the
North London Line (and beside the shelf containing the Shorter
Oxford).

When Amazon get around to sending it to me.
