Holiday Travels

We're off this afternoon on the holiday journey (Boston to upstate NY, to CT, and back again). I've loaded up the book bag and filled the iPod with "This American Life" and "To the Best of Our Knowledge," and am looking forward to the trek.

Books:

- A.S. Byatt, The Children's Book (which I'm still trying to finish)

- Jasper Fforde, Shades of Grey (which I will probably read instead of Byatt)

- Josiah Quincy, The History of the Boston Athenæum, with Biographical Notices of its Deceased Founders (my sop to doing 'work' over break)

- Ulrich Boser, The Gardner Heist

Also in the bag is Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, in case I get the urge for it.

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to all!! I'll check in as events warrant and time permits.
