All these are 'to be read' at some point. I churn through the sf stuff and lots of history, but haven't had much time for the denser reads, thus the sad books stuck on the shelves. The ones on top of the bookshelf are more recent additions and have a better chance of being read.
this year's b'day haul. I'm in the middle of "Night Sessions" and have read all the others except the 3rd French.
To summarize:
2 set in near-future Scotland (there are more out there than you'd think)
1st 3 of a French detective series set in late 19th century Paris with a bookshop owner as the "sleuth".
1 graphic novel
1 Irish emigrant/immigrant story
It's complicated to have a sex life with no arms, stubby legs, bat wings, and three heads. But damn it, he's TRYING.

Lancaster Public Library has not returned to business as normal, so things still look a little (okay a lot) different in our buildings. But, now that we all know how to maintain a 6 ft. bubble of space and masks are an integral part of our wardrobe, that's not stopping our patrons from enjoying some time browsing the bookstacks at the Lancaster City Branch.

Grad cake for the elementary school my younger two children attend. My middle DD graduated from Grade 8 this year - so it had to be special! The picture stinks though - crappy lighting at the hall!
as if reading is a problem for me. I'm trying to read more classics this year. So far so good... it should be easy with Penguin reissuing the classics in all newly designed covers by Coralie Bickford-Smith & Ruben Toledo. Very easy.
I hope this is photoshoppable. I have enough difficulty just holding the camera steady enough that the titles are readable.
An amazing book store in Halifax. We wandered in becasue the site of piles and towers of books stacked in the windows made us curious. There were towers up to the ceiling, windows cut out through books, stairs lined w/ books. There were narrow corridors and twists and turns - some you could not even get through.
The British Museum Reading Room, located at the heart of the Great Court, was designed by Sydney Smirke and opened in 1857 to house the growing library of the British Museum. Constructed of cast iron, concrete, and a papier-mâché dome inspired by the Pantheon, the room’s circular design accommodated thousands of books and readers, with surrounding iron bookstacks and forty kilometers of shelving. It served as the principal reading room of the British Library until the collection relocated to St Pancras in 1997. After restoration, the Reading Room reopened in 2000 for general visitors, later hosting major exhibitions from 2007 to 2013 before closing for archival use until reopening in 2023.
The British Museum, located in Bloomsbury, London, was established in 1753 and opened in 1759 as the world’s first national public museum. Originally housed in Montagu House, it now occupies a grand neoclassical building designed by Sir Robert Smirke, constructed between 1823 and 1852 on the same site. The museum’s encyclopedic collection of over eight million objects spans over two million years of human history, with major highlights including the Rosetta Stone, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, and the Sutton Hoo treasures--many of which remain the subject of ongoing repatriation discussions.
The following books will be references for a paper I will be writing at the end of this semester on modern thought concerning the Trinity. I will be reading the book by Rahner, Jenson's book, and Hart's Beauty of the Infinite in full while referencing the remaing books as need be:
- The Trinity, by Karl Rahner
- The Doors of the Sea: Where Was God in the Tsunami?, by David Bentley Hart
- Theology and Sanity, by Frank Sheed
- I Believe in the Holy Spirit, a volume by Yves Congar that contains: The Holy Spirit In The 'Economy': Revelation and Experience of the Spirit, 'He is Lord and Giver of Life', and The River of the Water of Life (Rev 22:1) Flows in the East and in the West
- The Beauty of the Infinite: The Aesthetics of Christian Truth by David Bentley Hart
- Fundamentals of Catholicism: Volume II, by Kenneth Baker, S. J.
- Systematic Theology: Volume I: The Triune God, by Robert Jenson
- Heart of the World, Center of the Church: Communio Ecclesiology, Liberalism, and Liberation, by David Schindler

The courtyard at the centre of the British Museum was one of Londons long-lost spaces. Originally an open garden, soon after its completion in the mid-nineteenth century it was filled by the round Reading Room and its associated bookstacks. Without this space the Museum was like a city without a park. This project is about its reinvention.
In terms of visitor numbers over five million annually - the British Museum is as popular as the Louvre in Paris or the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. In the absence of a centralised circulation system this popularity caused a critical level of congestion throughout the building and created a frustrating experience for the visitor. The departure of the British Library to St Pancras provided the opportunity to clear away the bookstacks and to recapture the courtyard to give the building a new public focus. The Great Court is entered from the Museums principal level, and connects all the surrounding galleries. Within the space - the largest enclosed public space in Europe - there are information points, a bookshop and a cafe. At its heart is the magnificent space of the restored Reading Room, now an information centre and library of world cultures, which for the first time in its history is open to all. Broad staircases encircle the Reading Room and lead to a gallery for temporary exhibitions with a restaurant above. Below the level of the Court are the new Sainsbury African Galleries, an education centre, and facilities for schoolchildren.
The glazed canopy that makes all this possible is a fusion of state-of-the-art engineering and economy of form. Its unique geometry is designed to span the irregular gap between the drum of the Reading Room and the courtyard facades, and forms both the primary structure and the framing for the glazing, which is designed to maximise daylight and reduce solar gain. As a cultural square, the Court also resonates beyond the confines of the Museum, forming a new link in the pedestrian route from the British Library to Covent Garden and the river. To complement this civic artery, the Museums forecourt has been freed from cars and restored to form a new public space. Like the Great Court it is open to the public from first thing in the morning to early evening, creating a major amenity for London.
