With Tomorrow & Tomorrow & Tomorrow finished I move onto the first book I grabbed from my friend Brendan: Say Nothing by Patrick Keefe. Time to learn about The Troubles.

how do you always have the most beautiful editions of books

I caught my friend’s obsession with fancy books. This one is me spending too much for Folio Society’s new edition rather than going to indigo because he was making an order and we split on shipping. I also ask him about interesting editions of old books to dig up and look for those used.

It seems like now I mostly try and buy cool editions of books, and will grab everything else from the library. This is my bourgeois habit.

Still early in the book, but there is something depressing about the sameness of sectarian violence. Stories of mobs chasing people from their homes read the same whether the city is Belfast or Colombo or countless other places I am sure.
