NOTICE!

For some reason I can add sidebars, but not new posts. Please check back later. I have been working on a variety of things including switching my blog soon from this one, which was set up with my now-defunct West Wisconsin Telcom account. I hope to have my new blog through Gmail up soon. I will provide a link and announcement when I've got everything straight. 7/2/11

A quote for readers



Book collage page from Artella



Edmund Burke, 18th century philosopher and writer, noted that, “Reading without reflecting is like eating without digestion.” I agree, yet there are sometimes when I don’t want to reflect—I want to just read without thought, to escape into a fantasy world where the good guys and dolls always win the roll of the dice. I find it helps to know when a book deserves reflection, and when one does not.
