Four Volume Autobiography of Dodie Smith

Today I picked up the four volume autobiography of Dodie Smith from the library's Interlibrary Loan, which I mentioned two blog posts back. Winter Reading with Tacoma Reads Together was announced at a Tacoma City Council Meeting at least two weeks ago, according to a librarian who answered my question about it. So it is no secret. The library has yet to start its large hype. For Fahrenheit 451 there were posters in every window of the downtown library. The classic by Ray Bradbury came to mind when I was up late reading a mystery about book theft and feminist mysteries. At points such stories are quite scarey.

Anyone can find out what our book will be. So it is silly that I even dislike discussing this in a blog entry before the library starts up the hype. Gosh, what classic 1941 mystery film was standard at fests and concerts in the late 1960's? What film starts with the unforgettable image of the old lost statuette? Um.
