Beginning a short run of paperback classics today; of this bunch I haven't read Otranto, Werther, or Simpleton yet. A lot of books (especially if they're cheap, or rare, or in my area of general interest, or all three) that I think I might want to read someday I buy and put away, like a man putting away a cellar of wine. One day when it or I am ready I may read it. Until then they are safely in reach.
