Here we are on the sixth week!
This coming week, as we run out of September, is going to be another busy week for me. In fact, preparing for this week at work is what has caused me to fall behind over the past couple of weeks. I see a light at the end of the tunnel, and I look forward to jumping back in the mix here!
I’m so glad to see your comments still, so please continue to feel welcome to use this as much as you can. I know it’s better when there are several comments, so thanks to all of you who have come this far . . . the first month is over!
Here is the post for any and all discussions about passages from September 25 – October 1, 1967.

I’m still here and keeping up for the most part. It continues to intrique.
September 27 – Lisbeth in Richmond – oh how I remember trying to adapt to England when I first moved here. The measures for cooking were tricky and I remember buying a conversion chart (this was a few years before the internet). But she had the additional barrier of language (though some would say I did too).
I am thinking about Gesine’s thoughts from earlier entries, where she queries why Cresspahl chose Lisbeth. Reading this entry, I wonder why is it not the other way around.
That was a great passage. And the Cresspahl / Lisbeth relationship is clearly a rather odd one.
I found the plane passage (25th?) oddly surreal compared to the usual prose.
Just popping in to say that after today my life is going to be a lot better! So I should be back soon.
Great news, Trevor!
Part of me wants to surge ahead but a bigger part of me is glad that I am reading in such small chunks.
I am not used to reading more than one book at a time and I’ve found that the feeling from this book oddly pervades the others.
I’m reading along, though haven’t commented thus far. I’m not sure what to think of the book. I feel quite disconnected from it and I’m unsure whether it’s the slow reading pace or simply that it isn’t my preferred type of book. No intention of leaving it unfinished though, having bought a huge boxed set. I’d be interested to know what others thing of it, and among those who love it, what it is they love about it.
Today’s entry was particularly beautiful. Coincidentally, here it’s 20 degrees cooler than yesterday, so the switchover to heating the building is perfectly timed.
Like Emily, I find the leisurely pace sometimes gets in the way of my enjoyment (and then sometimes it helps). I have paused and then read 3-4 entries in one go at times.
Paul, I too liked the entry describing the filling of the pipes the first time the heating goes on. I can imagine it was a particularly difficult translation too.
Emily, I think I am loving it but I probably wouldn’t if I were trying to read it as normal rather than an entry per day. I find many entries surprising and I am enjoying the slow reveal.
