Summer Holidays

Now that school has ended for the summer, and marking exams has all-but ended, I have some seven weeks to fill with interesting activity. It looks as if I will have to become interested in painting because that is what is thrust upon me, along with all the other handy-man activities that need doing.

In preparation for decorating the living-room, I have begun bagging and moving my books to the basement. They have been sitting on the floor along a wall since we moved in, awaiting the bookshelf of our dreams. I have a lot of books, and have been able to find barely enough plastic carrier bags in which to transport them. It’s a serious problem.

In the process of moving my books, I have, however, discovered several books I had forgotten about. The most interesting to me at the moment is the old library copy of Norsk Litteraturhistorisk Bibliografi which contains six pages of Jonas-Lie-related bibliographical information. Six pages of newspaper reviews and articles from the last eight years of his life, and beyond!

So, when I am not painting, renovating, or carpentering, I will spend my time transcribing this new information, and adding it to the bibliography I maintain online.
