At the Villa of Reduced Circumstances
6 journalers for this copy...
"Welcome to the insane and rarified world of Professor Dr Moritz-Maria von Igelfeld of the Institue fo Romance Philology. Von Igelfeld os engaged in a never-ending quest to win the respect he feels certain is his due - a quest which has the tendancy to go hilariously astray.
in AT THE VILLA OF REDUCED CIRCUMSTANCES, Professor Dr von Igelfeld gets caught up in a nasty case of academic intrigue while on a sabbatical at Cambridge. When he returns to Regenburg he is confronted with the thrilling news that someone from a foreign embassy has actually checked his masterwork, Portuguese Irregular Verbs, out of the Institute's Library. As a result, he gets caught up in intrigue of a different sort on a visit to Bogota, Columbia."

I received The Finer Points of Sausage Dogs and At The Villa of Reduced Circumstances two weeks ago, but didn't get a chance to journal them. And then I forgot about journaling completely! Sorry about that. I actually on the second book and would be finished soonish.
Merci Frutz!
Merci Frutz!
Von Igelfeld is as absurd as usual and quite funny this time, if one ignores geopolitics and such.
Enjoy Icila.
Enjoy Icila.
Thank you Beitaljawzaa for the 2 books and the lovely card.
On its way to Finland.

This series is my least favourite of McCall Smith's, but still quite nice. Mildly amusing, and the books are quite short.

Sending to mcsar next in the wishlist-tag game!
I love this absurd series and I am very happy to be tagged with it. But I am so shocked to see how much you have to pay to send such a skinny book to me. Your generosity is very much appreciated.
I enjoyed the book a lot. It is a nice break from heavier reading material.
On its way to the winner of the Golden Spurtle Sweepstakes. Enjoy and happy reading!
Thanks for the 2 books (from authors that I like ver much !) and the postcards. :-)))
