The starting date of the #1951Club is getting closer and I’m still pondering on what to read next. A comment from HeavenAli reminded me that I have another lovely crime title to consider in the form of Nancy Spain’s “Not Wanted on Voyage”. I picked it up second hand and posted about it a while back, as there was an intriguing old photo tucked away inside; but certainly it would chime in well with my current enjoyment of classic crime. Here it is, next to another possibility:
Yes – gasp! – an e-book!!! It’s not a format I’m fond of, but I find I have Victor Serge’s “Memoirs of a Revolutionary sitting on my iPad, and it was published in 1951. I’ve loved all the Serge books I’ve read so far, so this is a strong candidate for a 1951 read. Watch this space to find out what I actually *do* pick! :))

There *is* a lot of lovely crime from this year, isn’t there? 🙂

I hope you can read quickly! I’ve chosen mine and when I got it from the library realised it was 700 pages. Aggggh. I *may* not finish it in time….

I *do* read quickly but not quite quick enough. And as I want to read more than one book for the week, I’ve decided against certain titles so as not to rush them!

I’m looking forward to all of the crime reviews! After some searching, I found Heinrich Boell’s Where Were You, Adam? in one of my book boxes. It was published in German in 1951. So yay, I can skip The Origins of Totalitarianism for now. 🙂

Well done! The Origins of Totalitarianism might be a bit too close to home at the moment…. :s

Exactly!
