March 1981 books read

This is the second time trying this transcription; the first one vanished and exists neither as a published entry nor as a draft, apparently:

Beth Gutcheon: The New Girls
Raymond D. Gastel: Cultural Regions of the Uinted States
Shirley Hazzard: The Transit of Venus
Elizabeth Hardwick: Sleepless Nights

I still think that this is a scanty and odd list. I know that I didn't like the Hardwick, and, now that Hazzard has a book out on Naples, I've been thinking about reading her work again. There must have been a lot of unrecorded mysteries read during this month.
