Welcome to my commute for the next little forever. The 38 discs are a bit intimidating. The librarian cringed at the prospect of verifying that all of them were indeed in the case. Don't any of you worry, all present and accounted for.

From the mouths of Rubies - a truth I can fully get behind courtesy of Mr Frazier.

I have zero desire to add the 650 + books currently on my Goodreads "have read" account on Litsy. That being said, I may share some of my pretty book finds in an attempt to make at least one of you jealous. An Edward Gorey illustrated War of the Worlds? Please let me know if you are turning green.

Exactly what you want to be reading when you're having a whiskey - solo - on St. Paddy's day around midnight:

Nothing against Lasalle, ON Canada but you can imagine as I listened to The Road to Little Dribbling on my daily commute for the last couple of weeks, the contrast between the English countryside described in such wonderfully appealing detail - filled with standing stones, sheep, quaint villages and public houses - and what I'm used to in Southwestern Ontario (again, no offense) was both inspiring and disheartening. All in all worth the listen.
