SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU! How ya been? I absolutely concur with you on Stewart. He's pointed me to more than a few good titles too, and as he's the founder and owner of the World Literature Forum, I owe him for the opportunity of 'getting close' to two of my favourite contemporary Italian authors. Anyway great to hear from you Claire. As soon as I hit 'submit comment' I'm coming over for a snoop on your site :). Warmest Rob CLAIRE! SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU! How ya been?

I have been a constant lurker of his blog, and his was one of the very first few I stumbled onto. I do love the obscurity of the books he reads. Never fails to give recommendations of titles I've never heard of elsewhere. Rob, thanks for featuring Stewart.

I'd never really thought about it, but it's true. If I had all the books in the bookstore thrown together, I'd have a lot more random finds. Then again, it would be a lot harder to pinpoint specific books in the ever-reaching stacks... Still, then another pro: books that span across different, almost contradictory genres would have proper, established places. I'm all for it. I especially like the first point about the genres.
