I just ...Brideshead Revisited -- oh yes, yes, yes. I just discovered it this spring, have read it three times already . . . Really just about all the names you mention here are on my favorites lists, too. I find I have to leave books in places where I can't get to them if I expect to get anything done -- the current novel never goes with me to the office, for example . . . !<BR/><BR/>BethBeth Impsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15560137034653905618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-85163502565605600642007-06-20T15:49:00.000-05:002007-06-20T15:49:00.000-05:00It is not possible to have too many books.It is not possible to have too many books.jo(e)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01488562158252331555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-58050750460698890022007-06-20T11:37:00.000-05:002007-06-20T11:37:00.000-05:00no, you cannot have too many books.

My kids never wanted to leave daycare anyway so I did much the same and would time my arrival with one of their friends - so we could drag the girls especially out screaming. TS was never eager to leave either - but as the older one - he was less keen on protesting so would come when it seemed that I really meant it :)<BR/><BR/>bless youseethroughfaithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041055467020894063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-1791843497145553942007-06-19T10:24:00.000-05:002007-06-19T10:24:00.000-05:00Oh, and I've been thinking it was time to pick up ...Oh, and I've been thinking it was time to pick up <I>Brideshead</I> again and now that you've mentioned it in two posts, I'm taking that as a sign.Lorrainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15130321823549477784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-2730350627240079162007-06-19T10:23:00.000-05:002007-06-19T10:23:00.000-05:00These memes are fun!

When I was an undergrad at the U of New Hampshire I saw a sign at Hamilton Smith referring to him as UNH's "poet in residence" and I remember thinking, "Yeah, right..." Just because I'd grown up twenty mins. from the campus I just assumed that if it was local it couldn't matter much!<BR/><BR/>So I was pretty surprised when I learned he'd received a MacArthur Foundation grant...<BR/><BR/>I like his poetry for what it does, although it's not my favorite kind of poetry. But hearing him read adds to it - intersting voice and accent.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770384445526387065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-61740271994216197682007-06-16T06:56:00.000-05:002007-06-16T06:56:00.000-05:00sneak reading- always have a book with you excelle...sneak reading- always have a book with you excellent stuff!!<BR/><BR/>Graet play- as for Brideshead revisited- wow!Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01759963926280667938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15524211.post-48642386410981664672007-06-15T21:00:00.000-05:002007-06-15T21:00:00.000-05:00I'm glad I'm not the only sneaky one.
