A lovely book, about what it is to be a reader and how we apprehend the world within and without books. A much easier read, shorter, than On Curiosity, a complement to A History of Reading, with more Don Quixote and less Dante. This Manguel fangirl is happy.

At a coffeehouse with the boys after we had our eyes exams. Tried to read, but my eyes are still too dilated and also the boys are here. The cupcake was good, at least.

twohectobooks I love that case! 6y

No snow storm here, and lots of wind, but my adventures in transportation from last week and my day working at uni yesterday have plowed me over. Staying home this morning, no yoga, and going to my physio this pm. Reading tagged.

DivineDiana Wise decision under those circumstances! 😲 6y

Suet624 We have so much snow here in Vermont right now! I am so done with shoveling. There‘s no place to put it and the banks of snow are all taller than me. Grrrr... 6y

tournevis @Reviewsbylola @Suet624 @suzisteffen It's snowing and it's really cold, but we didn't get the storm that so many people to the south and west of us got. But, yeah, right now the srteets have not been cleared today. 6y
rabbitprincess I teleworked today to avoid being out in the storm, so I will take full credit for its failure to materialize 😂 6y

Drive by post.

Guys! Guys! My second day, only conference day, went wonderfully!!!! Great academics, great analyses, very generative discussions. Almost compensates for yesterday. In any case, it's evening and I have this genuine French lemon tart and the tagged book before I go to bed. Tomorrow, the journey in reverse. 👋👋👋

I am absolutely exhausted and fed up and angry. At this point, I've been up for over 24h, I've not eaten in 6h. I'm tired and thirsty and was led on a merry-go-round for almost a 1.5h before I got to the actual train station. At this point, I will have missed the entire day of proceedings. Gah.

CouronneDhiver 😶 You‘ve had quite the test of travel-related patience this week. *sigh* 6y
tournevis @CouronneDhiver I'm on the plane to Paris. Evidently, we are not still gone. Because of a medical emergency on board. I kid you not. 6y
