It's a small thing - in the scheme of things - but I'm proud to say that I've finished R.D. Blackmore's monumental "Lorna Doone". At 679 pages, it is the longest book I've ever read. It is also a simply outstanding piece of historical fiction. I'm really please I own a 1923 edition of this book.

I stayed up late Ivanhoe. I finally finished it. While I started out aghast at the anti-semitism, the ending of the book was much more positive. And along the way I met Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Richard the Lionhearted, and other characters I'm familiar with from other books and films. Overall, I enjoyed the book and would recommend.

My current listen is Ivanhoe narrated by BJ Harrison. I did not expect that Robin and his Merry Men would be in it! Took a while to get into it but enjoying it now. The vicious anti-Semitism of nearly all the characters is really OUCH.

I’ve been sorting out my books and putting lots in the attic recently. The main ones I couldn’t help but keep out were (esp. contemporary British, along with Muldoon, Duhig, Jorie Graham…) (esp. Joyce), odd bits of and (mainly C20th/classical) and work-related books about etc. Felt like a curious type of self-portrait…

There was a time when I was on a Wizard of Oz kick, and thought I'd do some images based on an alternative telling of the tale. I thought of an old Dowager Dorothy Gale telling her version of the story, ala "True Tales of Hollywood" sensationalistic memoirs. LOL!

Anyway, I got three or four images done and then lost interest. Still, I'm proud of 'em! :)
