Fiction Shelves, F–

I spent some time rearranging the fiction section today.
You could certainly find something good to read, but there were few unusual novels (or editions of them) on the shelves this holiday weekend.

I took these photos just as we were closing--in a rush I skipped an entire bookshelf of authors A––E.
Also, I didn't photograph the Mystery/Thrillers & Romance books sections.

I posted these original size--you can scroll to the right (on a computer screen), if you're inclined to the pleasure of browsing titles.
I am.

We start with just a wee sliver of Faulkner, top left.

ABOVE: Oh, there's a curiosity--- Aspects of Love, [next to Dreaming in Cuban] by Bloomsburian David Garnett--fun review of the bio of this sort of repellent guy.

  I see I missed the beginning of the Ms too--all those Macs and Mc's.

ABOVE: I thought about collecting the Signet Shakespeare covers by Milton Glaser, I like them so much... But I don't really want to own them.
Glaser died last summer (June 2020) at ninety-one.
From his obit in the NYTimes:
"Milton Glaser was born on June 26, 1929, in the Bronx, to Eugene and Eleanor (Bergman) Glaser, immigrants from Hungary. His father owned a dry-cleaning and tailoring shop; his mother was a homemaker.

When Milton was a young boy, an older cousin drew a bird on the side of a paper bag to amuse him. “Suddenly, I almost fainted with the realization that you could create life with a pencil,” he told Inc. magazine in 2014. “And at that moment, I decided that’s how I was going to spend my life.”
