And I agree about books I really dislike having to go asap, and scary ones being in a different room. This collection is really good though, nothing too terrifying in it.

If I ever really hate a book, I have to remove it immediately from the house. And when I was younger I read some M.R. James ghost stories with illustrations by Charles Keeping that scared me so much that at night I'd put the book in another room because I didn't dare sleep with it near me...helenhttp://gallimaufry.typepad.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
