Thank Goodness for Reader’s Advisory Librarians!
The local librarian who often recommends books I might find interesting has kept me sane this weekend while I’ve been stuck home because of the 18 inches to 2 feet of snow we have outside. Uncharacteristically, I took his advice earlier this week and checked out a book he recently read. I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I do and I’ve been spending quite a bit of time reading this weekend instead running errands and hiking as I had planned. If it wasn’t for that book, I’d be pacing the apartment with the cats, all of us restless to go outside. Or I’d have already written and addressed the holiday cards I should send.
The book, by the way, is Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier–such an appropriate sounding title for this weekend.
(Look, Je’! I’m actually reading a book!)
(If you don’t believe me about the snow, check out this great photo from Michael. Yes, those funny lumps are cars. My street looks very similar.)
Addendum 12/9: ; ) to Je’
I think I read Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions when I was an undergrad. MMmmmmmmmaybe not. I don’t remember.
