The current mania for mining out the juicily non-PC thoughts and musings of practically every literary figure unwise enough to have left any written evidence of same lying about makes me realize just how wise Henry James was to have staged that massive missive bonfire at Lamb House all those years ago.

It used to be quite a bit. Then I discovered Waterstones where I would read all the books for nothing, except for a few I bought as Christmas presents by way of rent. Nowadays I rely on Project Gutenberg, archive.org and b-ok.xyz. These days the only time I go to the library is to see if they are having a book sale whereupon I will buy stuff to sell via Amazon. |

Are you sure you meant to post the above on this thread?

I don't have a problem with older people less salubrious views. They've lived long and interesting lives and they're entitled to their opinions. I would also say that these are just snapshots of her thought. Everyone has very negative thoughts at one time or another, and they probably didn't reflect her views or opinions towards the end of her life. Things matter less the older you get.
