Even though I don't comment, I DO read your journal every 2 weeks or so! So even though we haven't spoken, I don't feel out of touch with you at all. Chet doesn't read, so he IS out of touch w/you. How do you get around to this every day?
I remember a collection of Danish folk tales retold by Isak Dinesen called Winter's Tales. I don't remember if any of them involved snow, but I remember the tales being excellent & worth reading anyway. I have a copy of you would like me to send it to you.
AND (this will surprise you) at your (& several others') suggestion, I read The Golden Compass - and you know I'm not a fantasy reader. But since I read The Hobbit & have almost finished 3rd book of LOTR this year (w/Leigh) & loved it SOOOOO much, I decided to give your recommendation a go. It was interesting, but I didn't get so wrapped up in it that I am dying to read the next book. Leigh was intrigued with the idea of a daemon, so she's interested. Maybe I'll read it to her after we finish LOTR.
Leigh is reading a parody of Harry Potter (Barry Trotter & the Unauthorized Parody) & is laughing up a storm. The same fellow did a parody of the trilogy by Pullman called "His Damaged Credit Trilogy" - The Golden Whupass (Book I), The Subtle Knish (Book II), & The Amber Shotglass (Book III).
Well, this is too long for live journal - sorry!!!
