Why Read Moby-Dick? 4 Nov 2011 | 01:33 am
Despite reading Nathaniel Philbrick’s brief little treatise, Why Read Moby-Dick, I’m still asking myself this question. Really. Ok, I read Moby-Dick while doing a master’s degree in American Studies...
Addictions 7 Oct 2011 | 07:40 am
I’m hooked. It’s true. When I’m not sitting and watching, I’m thinking about it. It’s a killer being addicted, for sure. First it was Victorian Farm. Now it’s Edwardian Farm. Gosh darn these add...

Since I’m waiting for the house to sell –yes, it’s been 5 months and we still haven’t sold– so we can move to the farm, I’m trying to fill this time by reading everything I can get my hands on about f...
