Is it 2015 where you are yet, Av?
Happy New Year, everyone. May 2015 be better than 2014 for all of us.

They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."

My brother handed me Animal Farm when I was in the 4th grade. "Here, kid," he said. "You'll like it. It's about animals." What did I know from the Boxer Rebellion?

Hehe... 4th grade. I can't imagine.
Though I was really enjoying recently hearing how a friend's homeschooled son read the book and became obsessed with it!

I hope everyone's had a wonderful holiday and is looking forward to the New Year. Sadly, I haven't had a chance to read Donaldson's new book yet, but the year end break will be just the thing for that. Take care, stay in touch, and may whichever spirit you're inclined to trust for good things bless you and keep you.
