the rules

I missed most of today's photo opportunities because I left my camera at home. So instead of seeing, for instance, the fascinating inside of Caffe Nero, or the SO ALMOST BLOODY PERFECT dress I had to leave in Debenhams, you just get a bunch of out-of-focus pictures of my books.

Oh, do! There's an interesting article here here about the book, and a bit about Thurber in general. Incidentally, I don't know The Thurber Carnival. The only other Thurber I've read is Thurber's Dogs, a longtime staple of my family's bookshelf, and not really anything like The 13 Clocks.

The 13 Clocks looks amazing. I've never read any of his children's literature before, though the article suggests that readers only tend to know one branch of Thurber's work! It does sound like it has has usual madness though. The Thurber Carnival is I think a collection of his journalism; it's stories and cartoons mostly about his own family, which are VERY VERY funny, possibly make me laugh more than anything else.

Ooh, then I'll have to check that out. :) YAY FOR EXPLORING THE WORK OF JAMES THURBER DAY!
