Books, books, and more books
My whole life is behind. In case you were unaware.
First, I have finished and need desperately to review Eyes Like Stars bylisamantchev ; it was simply brilliant; more to come. Second, I'm half way through jimhines newest book, The Mermaid's Madness; thus far, it is excellent; more when it is finished. Third, and due to nepotism, most important, difrancis's newest book Bitter Night comes out tomorrow! WHOOHOO!!
We (headmaster who-is-teaching-literature and I) are making the middle schoolers read Robinson Crusoe. This is the part where I really hope middle schoolers and bosses alike are not investigative enough to read my blog, because all of the aforementioned might be sad to hear that I really don't care for Robinson Crusoe so far. Of all the adventure, castaway, pirate novels I've read, this one is at the bottom of the list.
On a random book note, upon visiting a professors office the other day, I believe I may have viewed the largest book bound in a single volume in the northern United States. I have to go back and take measurements, but I would say that the spine of the complete Concordance of Ovid is at least 18" from cover to cover. And half again as big from top to bottom and side to side. The thing is pushing cubic.
My study session for philosophy starts in T-4 minutes. And I have to make photo copies from a reserve book before I go.
