  1. "It's good to be home! Let's have a party!"
    May 16, 2013 · original
    I love classic Little Golden Books. We tend to think about old-timey morals as being all hardass, but when you really examine these books, the message is more like "Do what you feel like, kids! There'll be parties and cake!" As a parent, I disapprove. As a human being, I'm totally down with this.br / br / First, let's
  2. 11 Children's Classics Re-imagined as Serious Adult Fiction

  3. #2. Comfort Me with Apples by Ruth Reichl
    Apr 11, 2013 · original
    Ruth Reichl was the longstanding editor-in-chief of Gourmet magazine until it shut down. She also does all kinds of cool food-related stuff for PBS and Modern Library and has written a bunch of books, all of which were on my to-read list for way, way, way too long before I finally got my hands on one.br / br / Don't be

  5. #1. French Lessons by Peter Mayle
    Apr 2, 2013 · original
    Okay, this is getting ridiculous. If you've been coming here for any amount of time, you know that even at the best of times the posts about, you know, actual books I've read, can be a bit on the scant side. I don't know why I do this. What can I say? I'm a mystery, even to myself.br / br / Is it fitting that I'm final
  6. Should 2013 be the year of the official Moby Dick Throwdown?
    Jan 16, 2013 · original
    Okay, I swear to god that I'm not going to be totally lame and post nothing but pictures all the time. My reading is galloping along at a respectable pace, and I'm working on a couple of posts with actual words in them. But in the meantime, I couldn't not tell you about this awesome print that arrived in the mail from

    As I mentioned last week, my dog Dobbs died just over a year ago. (You may remember him from a href="http://50books.blogspot.ca/2005/11/etc-born-freeeeeee.html"bthis post/b/a, which I'm so glad now that I wrote, even though -- or perhaps because -- it makes me cry every time I read it.)
