Mmm! LOOK at all these wonderful titles. I’m pleased that “Double Indemnity” made the list.
In reference to the CS Lewis quote, this summer I read “The Rise & Fall of the Third Reich”. 1200 pages of superb writing and utterly horrifying/fascinating history. I actually felt a bit sad when it was done…

I love James M. Cain! I do not own a copy of Double Indemnity, so I had to include it here.
That Lewis quote is one of my favourites, because I love both books and tea. That book sounds really interesting. I will have to look it up.
