My favorite part.
Can you guess?




The first day of spring is one thing, and the first spring day is another. The difference between them is sometimes as great as a month. ~Henry Van Dyke



or two.










"Do you know that it is in your company that I have had my finest thoughts?"
— Muriel Barbery (The Elegance of the Hedgehog)



I can name three books I have read in the last year that ended with a whimper.


The Elegance of the Hedgehog has a wonderful and incredibly poignant final third.
Good parts galore.

I'm going to tell you to read this book.

You must remember to skim. Anytime the author gets all show-offy, skim like crazy.

But then slow down and savor the good and beautiful parts.



Encourage one another,
