I didn’t realize you guys got so much snow. I think we only got about half that amount and it’s now mostly cleaned up (from the streets and sidewalks anyway). We’ve had snow on the ground since November, too, and I Can’t Wait until I can see the lawn again. Glad to hear the semester is going smoothly–it’s zipping right along!

That’s so funny that you already have your birthday gift ideas lining up. I did the same thing when I got some newsletter recently that mentioned the third Stieg Larsson book is coming out on May 25 – my birthday. I quickly sent that to my husband and told him I found a perfect gift from him to me! haha… I do hope you’ll get your Emerson book so you can tell us about it!

I’m glad your class is going well. And I really must get that Wharton biography. I love reading about relationships among writers and literary milieus. I’d love to read the context stuff as much as the information about her life.

I had that realization while reading the Hermione Lee, too – it’s strange because Wharton seems, in many ways, like such an old-fashioned writer compared to the Modernists that were coming up in the last decades of her life.

I’ll be curious about your thoughts on Sea of Poppies!

I am always so in awe of how many things you are reading at once (I know most of them are school-related… but still)! And I thought I had my hands full with my three-book rule (I, for some reason, always have to have 3 books going at once).

Stay safe in the snow!
