What page are you on?
I'm on page 142 of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," the library's featured book for Big Read. I'd just finished the part when Tom crashes his own funeral.Who knows when I'll read a Big Read book again. According to David Allen's column on Sunday, the city did not receive a grant to do the reading initiative next year.
That means, this Thursday's public discussion will be the last Big Read activity for awhile. Prof. William Cook will discuss humor and cynicism in Twain's works at 7 p.m. at the Biane Library.
I'm on page 0 of "Tom Sawyer" because I loaned my copy to you.
But I'm on page 536 of Twain's "Roughing It" and expect to finish on my lunch hour Tuesday!
I had no idea that Bradbury was still alive (read the linked article written by David). I was equally surprised last week to find out that Shirley Temple's still tap-dancing.
