2012: what are you reading?

[Neoma]

I'm halfway through '1001 Days That Shaped The World' by Peter Furtado

Learned at the moment that that Lewis and Clack's spelling was "wonderously awful." ("a jentile brease," really?)

This is the first time anyone has read this book, and it's already showing signs that it could fall apart. Duct tape to the rescue? Hmm.

1. "Quiet" - Susan Cain

"Sesame and Lilies" - John Ruskin

Also trying to get all the way through "Walden" once again. I usually manage to get through a section or two feeling I understand what Thoreau is going on about, and then my mind fogs over and I can't follow his prose until next time I try it.

2. I just picked up a new biography of Galileo.

3. "American Scholar" --- Always some good reads, sometimes all good reads. nt
