Books. Books seem to multiply in my house. But as I've recently been following the 30 day challenge from Edie Wadsworth at LifeinGrace, I am reminded that I've been decluttering and discarding all along. This year when I went to the library book sale, I had a list, and stuck to it. My discards were already gone and shelf space was ready.
This summer I read The Great Gatsby which, I must say, was wonderful. It met and surpassed my expectations. It inspired me to consider other great books and begin to branch out more in classic literature.*edit: A Podcast at Circe Institute- Closereads - has included 'The Great Gatsby' in its list of books! Fantastic! They invited Adam Andrews to participate and it was illuminating!
The summer came on the heels of a trip to Louisville, KY to the Circe Regional Conference. It too was amazing. Hearing Adam Andrews share a reading from Flannery O'Connor was spectacular.
I was finishing the Wendell Berry selection, Hannah Coulter with Close Reader's abroad while trekking right up I-65 through Kentucky. It was glorious. Martin Cothran was a particularly interesting presenter as I was very unfamiliar with him and his work. It was all so good.
Upon returning home, I began to truly delve into Norms and Nobility.
