Thank God for the sunlight

Not much else good to say about today. Still frigid (was 18 degrees around lunchtime). Ice and snow galore.

Sittin' in a warm library with a view out the windows. Listening to Neil Young on Youtube. Harvest, the entire album.

I work in an academic library and it is hard to find a FUN book in there. Just finished Books and travel : inspiration, quests and transformation, by Jennifer Laing and Warwick Frost. It was somewhat stiltily written. I could have written it. I did get a few good quotes and reading suggestions, but, frankly, I am glad it is over. The influence of books on travels and travels on writers is explored. A great deal of it is just an explanation of the various books discussed.
