Although very interesting, the technicality & high density is beyond my ability to retain/remember.

I‘ll just enjoy the music & compositions from the greats without trying to tear them apart🎧🎻🎹😏

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 2w
CoverToCoverGirl Off the list! 👏👏 2w

I listen to non-fiction to put me to sleep (I used to read, this is nicer.) But 1) It takes months to finish a book 2) there are sections I miss, regardless of “rewinding“

I recognized names & places, but had never really put things together. Listening to this gave me context and the ability to tie it all together for the first time.

One note: he has a verbal tick of drawing out “aaaaaand“ which can get annoying. But not a huge deal.

Some 🧠food brought to you by sleeplessness & resulting in an early morning chores/productive spurt.

CoverToCoverGirl Sorry to hear you‘re not sleeping well. 7mo
Andrew65 I‘ve suffered with sone of that sleeplessness recently, hopefully it will improve for you. 7mo

My admiration for Manguel is no secret, so when I ordered a previously owned copy it was quite the surprise to receive a signed edition. #marchmadness #specialedition @alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @eggs

And sometimes you find a book with an old B.Dalton sticker & for once,you don‘t mind that there‘s a sticker on your book ! Gotta love an old paperback in great condition .And if you happen to pick up a cute little donkey, add it to the dustables !

UwannaPublishme How cool! 2y
Ruthiella I found a Borders bookmark in used book a few years ago and felt a real rush of nostalgia. B. Dalton (and Walden Books) are even more a blast from the past! 2y

The Educated Imagination | Northrop Frye, Professor Northrop Frye

A reread from undergrad days (of which I have almost zero recollection), this is an accessible intro to Frye. Transcribed from six radio sessions in the 1960s, Frye describes three levels of language and expands that into a why and how of literature studies.

My English mentor was Frye‘s assistant for a long time, so he leaned heavily on Frye‘s work. In reading Harold Bloom I‘ve found some antipathy there, so I want to read more Frye to learn why.
