Here's another:

How are Woody Allen: a Documentary and The Aeneid connected?

• The subject of the 2012 film Woody Allen: a Documentary is none other than Woody Allen.

• As an actor, Woody Allen’s film debut took place in the 1965 movie comedy, What’s New Pussycat?

• Burt Bacharach and Hal David wrote the title song to What’s New Pussycat, famously performed by singer Tom Jones.

• Tom Jones is the feline love interest in the popular children’s book Catwings, written by Ursula LeGuin.

• In a previous post, I recommended Ursula LeGuin’s novel Lavinia, set at the time of the arrival of Trojan hero Aeneis in ancient Italy.

• Aeneis is of course the title character in Virgil’s epic poem The Aeneid.

Ta da!

I'm listening to Tony Danza's _I'd like to apologize to every teacher I ever had: my year as a rookie teacher at Northeast High_, and enjoying it very much.

I asked some of my friends if they had read this book, and what they thought. One said, "Tim O'Brien recreated a part of my life better than any other author I've read."

A Dance with Dragons, book 5 in the A Song of Ice and Fire series, has a release date of July 12, 2011, and this seems to be a true release date! If you've been waiting, get your name on the hold list now (or you can pre-order it from a bookstore if you want to own your own copy).

This is the first of her books that I have read but I liked her style so much that I have added her to my "hope to get around to it someday" reading file.

So many books so little time.

re: How fast would society as we know it come to an end?

gawell@evpl — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 16:51:41 GMT

About as fast as it took societies to start.

Sometimes in a blink, or a wink.

Usually it's more of a slow and drawn out affair.

Apocalypse implies a larger scale that seems to hardly ever fulfill its promise. I suppose that's the good news.

Peregrination: Transplanting in another country,

or traveling into foreign lands.

‘the passage now presents no hindrance

To the spirit unappeased and peregrine

Between two worlds become much like each other.’
