Comment by Hélène LAGACHE on October 17, 2022 at 10:50am: ...Martha .. :-)

Comment by Mail Art Martha on October 16, 2022 at 7:58pm: Helene, my pleasure. I made a bookmark with the top of the envelope!

Comment by Hélène LAGACHE on October 11, 2022 at 9:41am: Thank you Martha. I love Henry JAMES too, and Faulkner, Joyce Carol OATES...Naipaul..etc

I also read about ten books a month, books are essential to my life. I participate in several book clubs and you?

Comment by Mail Art Martha on October 10, 2022 at 6:44am: On an envelope from Helene lagache a great stamp featuring my favourite author, Marcel Proust. I revel in the long sentences! I cannot stand the staccato short sentences of Hemingway, for instance. Another favourite is Henry James.

Comment by Ficus strangulensis on July 23, 2022 at 7:47pm: Ouch!

Comment by Bradford on July 23, 2022 at 7:03pm: Looks like you're entomed.
