The stack of books beside my chair tonight.
A nice stack of books for a cold evening when winter refuses to yield to spring, and a pad and pen to take notes.
Top background, “The Virtues of Ignorance.” A powerful group of essays on the limits of knowledge. Underneath, Debbie’s “Bullfinch’s Mythology” (speaking of hubris).
Top foreground, “Dear Editor” by Amy Newman. Haunting modern poetry, a gift from sister-in-law Kathy. Then Virgil’s Georgics. It’s just what I hear at modern farming conferences, except it was written in 29 BC. And on the bottom “The Lover’s Dictionary.” I got that for Debbie two years for Valentine’s Day. Like most gifts, I got it because I thought it was cool.
Actually, all of these were gifts. Thank you all.
So many good things to read…
