Five Books

[mirrorshard]

Five books I fully intend to own Soon^TM.

• Weston Martyr, The Southseaman. Referenced from Gordon's The New Science of Strong Materials which I've adored for years. I know or have tracked down most of the rest of his quotations, but not that one.
  
• An English translation of Les Liaisons Dangereuses as recommended by elettaria in dracula1897.
  
• Liza Picard's Victorian London. Which reminds me, I don't own a copy of Elizabeth's London, but that doesn't count for the list since the library Provided.
  
• Sheri S. Tepper's True Game books. I have the Jinian trilogy, but not the others.
  
• A good textbook on Dissenting movements in post-Reformation England. Haven't found out what it is yet, and still making my way through The Stripping of the Altars, so possibly not all that soon.

I've read a couple of general textbooks about Dissenting Movements (and several about particular movements). Trying to remember the names now! There was an Oxford University Press one that was pretty good I recall.
*rummages through her notes and tries to find the name*
