  • One Thousand Books
    Christopher K. Starr OONNEE TTHHOOUUSSAANNDD BBOOOOKKSS Zardhenge, Ohio 2007 Cover illustration: The Bookworm by Carl Spitzweg (1850) CONTENTS Introduction ....................................................................................... 3 Books I Would Like to Read ..................................................................... 5 Books I'm Glad I Read ........................................................................... 31 1 2 INTRODUCTION Like modern people everywhere, I am enchanted by the written word. I regard books as a thing of wonder. Quite a number of famous writers, in an unabashed display or modernity, have seen fit to share with us the books that have meant much to them, and we thank them for it. I have perused those of Jorge Luis Borges (1961), Henry Miller (1952) and John Cowper Powys (1916), with interest and delectation. It has occurred to me that a very few people might care to see that my own booklist would look like. Going a step beyond Borges, Miller and Powys, I have listed those books that I have not yet read but would like to (Part 1), as well as those that I can recall having read with appreciation (Part 2). To be sure, some of the books that I think I want to read will almost certainly turn out to be foolish choices when I get to them, but no matter. Unlike the three aforementioned luminaries, I have no literary reputation to lose. Each part lists about 1000 books. Where a particular volume has an english version, this title is given first. If it has an alternative english title or (more often) if the original title is in another modern language that uses roman script, this follows in square brackets.

    C L O U D S H I L L B O O K S P.O. Box 1004 • VILLAGE STATION • NEW YORK, NY 10014 212-414-4432 • [email protected] LAWRENCE DURRELL Letters to Henry Miller: 1974-1979 “I WANT TO HUNT FOR THE LARVAL FORMS, THE GERMS FROM WHICH CREATIVE IDEAS START” 1. TYPED LETTER SIGNED. [N.p.: 1974]. Single sheet addressed by Lawrence Durell to Henry Miller. Durrell writes: “Henry you can imagine how thrilled I was by your reaction to MONSIEUR; it was good of you to tackle it. It’s the first of five novels interlinked in a new way – not relativity this time. A telescope, say, with five sections. I want to hunt for the larval forms, the germs from which creative ideas start. You said once that you could write a whole book about one tiny phrase if need be, tracing it back to the source. In a way these books will do the same. There should be five – a quincunx, so to speak. But their relationship is a reincarnation- like thing and will be very stereoscopic-stereophonic in form. / I mean we all knew we had previous lives but mostly don’t know what they were – but we feel the weight of the karma accumulated. Anyway, what the hell, if I can pull it off it will be more ambitious in scope than the quartet – Pray for me. But I am delighted and encouraged by your praise as always. / Love from Ghislaine; we have had some dour battles but I think sunlight is beginning to break through.
