Looking Forward to a New Book
 |
| To be published later this week: Margaret Atwood’s memoir. I have been reading her novels since the very first one, The Edible Woman. |
From the publisher’s blurb:
“How does one of the greatest storytellers of our time write her own life? The long-awaited memoir from the author of The Handmaid’s Tale and The Testaments, one of our most lauded and influential cultural figures.
“‘Every writer is at least two beings: the one who lives, and the one who writes. Though everything written must have passed through their minds, or mind, they are not the same.’”
Looking at Our History
 |
I’ve read around half of Joseph Ellis’s Founding Brothers. I am learning a lot of history! |
Looking at a Hobbit — Again
 |
| This is the cover of the book I just reread. I enjoyed it as much as ever. It was published in 1937. |
 |
| This is the cover of the edition that I read decades ago. We wore it out by reading it often. In good condition, it’s worth quite a bit. |
 |
| This is the cover I like the best (but I’ve never seen one). |
 |
| There are dozens of editions of The Hobbit! It’s an inspiring and influential book. |

Those first two books, I know will be great reads. Who doesn't like the Hobbits? Have a great day today.
Margaret Atwood is a national treasure in Canada. She's a dedicated birder and all round naturalist, too.
