  1. I have to say, Margaret, you’ve got such terrific books here! There are at least half a dozen authors whose work I really enjoy, and several I’m interested in reading! I couldn’t even say which I hope you get, because so many are, in my opinion, good ‘uns. Whichever comes up, I hope you enjoy it.

  9. Lots of great books there! If you’re looking for a chunky read, Nicholas Nickleby. But if you’re in the mood for something shorter – The Day of the Jackal! Hope you get a good one!
