Anatole France, Boyd on Nabokov, mags

Since my last post I've read an issue of Cook's Illustrated, an issue of Vanity Fair and an issue of OK Magazine. I've also read six volumes of the complete works of Anatole France, of which the two volumes on Joan of Arc interested me the most. I also devoured Brian Boyd's biography of Nabokov, second volume only. I enjoyed all 792 pages thoroughly. I didn't read the south Americans, as advertised previously. A whole afternoon on my sun-drenched deck, a warm day at last! It was really enjoyable.
