Christopher Wood was fond of flowers as a subject, and this painting from 1925 (influenced by van Gogh) shows a degree of maturity by which his pictures from this period were characterised. This work also reveals his understanding of colour and harmony.

I love Jane Austen, but for pity's sake STOP ADAPTING HER. Her novels have been done to death. There are many other unfilmed authors to do instead. Burney, Edgeworth, much of Trollope. Non-Hannay Buchan. Most of Wilkie Collins. If you like Regency romance, Georgette Heyer.

Nobody who never listened to Joan Baez before is prepared for that voice. Joan's voice is so incredibly clear and soft, yet it hits you like a hammer when you hear it for the first time.

Tell that to C. S. Lewis: “I've been reading Pride & Prejudice on and off all my life and it doesn't wear out a bit. Her books have only two faults and both are damnable: they are too few and too short.”
