More mini-books
School goes smoothly enough for Samuel, who puts on a brave face but still has misgivings (as shown in the third photograph below).
To catch up on my reading, I continue to choose mini-books.
To catch up on my reading, I continue to choose mini-books.
- Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Life Together. For the reading group. I’m also attempting the Ethics (delivered on my porch in an imperfectly sealed package, during a rainstorm).
- Maggie Nelson: Jane: A Murder. Poetry. An earlier treatment of the subject matter of The Red Parts (a memoir).
- Ditto: The Argonauts. A memoir of modern love. Scavanged at Goodwill with Jane: A Murder.
- Alexandra Elizabeth Sheedy (yes, that Ally Sheedy, aged approx. twelve): She Was Nice to Mice. Good Queen Bess’s private moments, as reported by eyewitness palace vermin.
- Arthur Miller: The Crucible. Scavanged at Goodwill. I missed this high school staple when I was younger (I did read Death of a Salesman).
