Deciding that \u201cif you don\u2019t know the exact moment when the lights will go out, you might as well read until they do,\u201d James moved his library to his house in Cambridge, where he would \u201clive, read, and perhaps even write.\u201d James is the award-winning author of dozens of works of literary criticism, poetry, and history, and this volume contains his reflections on what may well be his last reading list. A look at some of James\u2019s old favorites as well as some of his recent discoveries, this book also offers a revealing look at the author himself, sharing his evocative musings on literature and family, and on living and dying.\n\nAs thoughtful and erudite as the works of Alberto Manguel, and as moving and inspiring as Randy Pausch\u2019s The Last Lecture and Will Schwalbe\u2019s The End of Your Life Book Club, this valediction to James\u2019s lifelong engagement with the written word is a captivating valentine from one of the great literary minds of our time.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/24945506-latest-readings\"> More on Goodreads<\/a><\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\"><figure><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.gr-assets.com\/images\/S\/compressed.photo.goodreads.com\/books\/1436842879l\/24945506._SY475_.jpg?w=100&#038;ssl=1\"  data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><\/figure><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Blog of Interest<\/b><\/td><td><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\"><b>20 Jazz Funk Greats<\/b> Interesting blog with lots of music clips to while away teh hours.\/td><td style=\"text-align:center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk\/wordpress\/\">Jazz Funk Greats<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Poetry of Interest<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/poets.org\/poem\/light-candle\">The Light of A Candle<\/a> by Yosa Buson<\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Podcast of Interest<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/player.fm\/featured\/cinema-roundup\">Cinema Roundup Podcasts<\/a><br>Most recent is here\n<a href=\"\nhttps:\/\/player.fm\/series\/series-2360012\/fast-furious-presents-hobbs-shaw\">Fast &#038; Furious Presents: Hobbs &#038; Shaw<\/a> <\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n\n\n\n<table><tr><td><b>Today&#8217;s Photographer of Interest<\/b><\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"width:350px\" \"text-align:center\"=\"\">Steve McCurry,<br><img src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/petapixel.com\/assets\/uploads\/2013\/10\/afghangirl1.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stevemccurry.com\/\">Steve McCurry<\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today&#8217;s Information Filter &#8211; Happy Fathers Day Downunder Welcome to my information filter blog where I try to select interesting &#8216;stuff&#8217; from what passes my eyes when reading, surfing, watching or listening.
