The aim of the week is to confirm once and for all that Baby-Sitters Club is far superior to Sweet Valley High. Especially BSC in graphic novel form.
The stack of books I'm battling through at this present moment in time.
* D.H. Lawrence - Three Novellas (The Ladybird, The Fox, The Captain's Doll)
* Stephen Pile - The Book of Heroic Failures
* Ross & Wilson - Foundations of Anatomy and Physiology
* A.C. Spearing (translator) - The Cloud Of Unknowing & Other Works
* Jostein Gaarder - Sophie's World
* The Rough Guide to Switzerland
So far I'm halfway through The Fox, after having read The Ladybird, this is the first D.H. Lawrence set of stories I've managed to (finally) get round to reading, and he's pretty much my kind of guy. Luckily I have a fair few of his other works kicking about, so they'll be part of the pile someday soon I'm sure.
Heroic Failures is a collection of (mostly) newspaper articles about daft incidents people have managed to get themselves involved in. It's a pretty amusing read, but I can't think of any of the stories offhand as I haven't picked it up in while....
Anatomy - another one I haven't picked up in a while. This was my mum's old book from school, I saw it lying in the bookcase and thought I might as well teach myself how the body works. I've made it past cells etc & the skeleton, muscles and now I'm onto the basic functions of the heart. I've some way to go still (!).
The Cloud is a work by an unknown 14th Century author, and I'll just grab what Amazon has to say about it: "Contains The Cloud of Unknowing, The Mystical Theology of Saint Denis, The Book of Privy Counselling, and An Epistle on Prayer. Against a tradition of devotional writings which focussed on knowing God through Christ's Passion and his humanity, these texts describe a transcendent God who exists beyond human knowledge and human language. These four texts are at the heart of medival mystical theology in their call for contemplation, calm, and above all, love, as the way to understand the Divine. "
Sophie's World - I read this ages ago and thought it was about time for a reread. It's amazing how much of it I'd forgotten, but I'm actually getting a whole new level out of it after years of touching on religious/spiritual/philosopical writings. It's good stuff, I love love love Jostein Gaarder.
Switzerland! I was supposed to go over there to visit my friend last Autumn but never made it, but it's on the cards again for Spring/Summer, so I'm doing some research.

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!
British Library book store, Woolwich in south east London, UK. Light floods in from the roof lights and large windows.
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 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.
