I'm rotating, the current favorite is "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo"(Larsson), "Wolf Hall (Hilary Mandel), "The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying" (Sogyal Rinpoche), "Post Captain" (Patrick O'Brien), and rereading "The Hairstons" (Henry Wiencek) on and off.

So very true, Mr V. I'm interested in that Mitford. It must be good. I'm reading Jean d'Aillon's Nostradamus et le dragon de Raphaël
and have just finished Le Petit Chose by Daudet - a moving delight.

My book HOW THEY DECORATED, for Rizzoli, was published in April of 2017. I have been an interior designer for over 30 years & have an abiding passion for the original, & history. Little Augury was born on New Year's Eve 2008. It began as a way of continuing a conversation with a beloved mentor & the promise to keep just a bit of his wit & wisdom alive by sharing it whenever possible. Little Augury focuses on interior design, art, literature, fashion & social history with an eye, always looking back to the past, in hope of understanding what is authentic & what will endure & what connects us to our environment. Always listening for the footstep on the old stair-the sound of lives that walked that way.
