Several years ago Nithum and I, while in St. John’s, came across a box in a house that encouraged people to either take or leave a book. Before moving into our apartment last year we thought about establishing a box of our own, though because of space restrictions this did not occur.
Now that we have moved to a significantly larger apartment we finally have the space to establish such a box. The box was seeded with a few discards from the collection that I acquired through frequent visits to the McGill book sale free book box. The problem with the seed books was that most of them weren’t very good, which explains why they were being given away for free in the first place.
Fortunately, today I was able to find a fair number of classics for free. The newly available books are:
-Scoop by Evelyn Waugh
-Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell
-Dracula by Bram Stoker
-Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
-Lord of the Flies by William Golding
-The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne

When did Golding start writing in the SE Asian vernacular?
When I started transcribing his titles.
