checking back in after a few days away. Helen Keller said "Literature is my utopia" from "The Story of My Life" . Wonderful thought.

Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard

Thomas Gray

on Road RagE

I look around the shelves sometimes too but what amazes me is how often an appropriate title comes immediately to mind - one I haven't thought of or read in years - and seems to be triggered by the preceding title. Like just now - Road Rage triggered Gray's Elegy. Weird!!

Descartes on Polyhedra
A Study of the De Solidorum Elementis

P. J. Federico, on ChurchyarD

That one's definitely off my shelves. (P. J. Federico was my father). Your choice to use the A or the IS.

I'm surprised how often I walk over to a shelf and somehow that makes an unrelated book pop into my mind.
