Looking forward to (re)reading the vintage paperbacks. The history book is more for figuring out how teaching will work in the future, now that everything old is new again.

Three vintage paperbacks (THE INNER WHEEL by Keith Roberts; THE BOOK OF PTATH by A.E. Van Vogt, with a great Jeffrey Catherine Jones cover; SINNERS & SHROUDS by Jeffrey Latimer) and a trade paperback (NAZI GERMANY & THE HUMANITIES: HOW GERMAN ACADEMICS EMBRACED NAZISM edited by Bialas & Rabinbach).

I already have a copy of Van Vogt’s The Book of Ptath, his only novel on my “always re-read” list, with the same cover by Jeffrey Catherine Jones, but it’s getting too beat up to read. Keith Roberts is one of the 1960s-70s-era I should have been reading since I was a teenager but somehow I never glommed onto his books. Jonathan Latimer wrote some of the better scripts for the old Perry Mason show. I read one of his mysteries (Murder in the Madhouse) and thought it was okay-to-promising, so I’m going to try a few others.
