Not feeling very linky today.

Read aloud the middle of The Magician's Nephew last night. Did C.S. Lewis secretly turn into George Lucas? Awe-inspiring special effects, headache-inducing dialogue.

Reading a novel on the subway for a change. James wanted to go through a Richard Scarry trucks-n-cars book on the half-trip to school. In Scarry's world, no truck ever arrives at its destination without letting some cargo fly en route. There's a line between cliffhanger-excitement and chaotic anxiety, and Scarry's on the other side of it. Whatever side that is.
