Book of the Week: Hogfather.

I have a powerful urge to sit down and read me some JRR Tolkien and Terry Pratchett. No, I don’t know why I’m not doing that, right now. Maybe because I think I’d need to get some cocoa going, first, and it’s a bit late for that.

At any rate: Hogfather by Sir pTerry is excellent. But hopefully you knew that already. I just wish they’d stop saddling his books with such awful covers…

Book of the Week: The Arrival.

I flipped through The Arrival in the library yesterday while riding herd on my eldest, and it’s really pretty good. It’s a graphic novel that uses fantastic imagery to give the 21st Century reader an idea of just how mind-altering it was to immigrate to America in the 19th century. I mean mind-altering in a good sense, of course: I’d say ‘transformative,’ but the spell check doesn’t recognize that as a word and it’s probably wise to do so. Anyway: I liked it.

And so, adieu to Hogfather
