First overnight freeze of the season and despite the heay being on, somebody is cold. I'll be a church widow all day, so I don't know how much reading I'll get done. It's rather far down the list.

From Lists of Note, a hand-written list of words for Roald Dahl BFG's vocabulary. So interesting to see what made the cut and what didn't.
I wonder how many lists like this we miss in today's digital age.
#seasonsreadings2016 #fictionnonfictionpairings this is a list of "midwesternisms" from DFW so I just had to pair it with Infinite Jest. The first one on the list is "Pronouncing 'theatre' like it had a y in it -- theayter theayter". This is a cool book though! It has lists from all sorts of people (Johnny Cash, Ronald Dahl, Sylvia Plath, Frank Lloyd Wright- and lots of others!)
