"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

Percolations

I smell books…….


Best known as a playwright, Anton Chekhov was one of Imperial Russia’s most celebrated writers. A Night In The Cemetary will arrive just in time for the perfect winter read. A macabre collection of horror stories with the typical Chekhov humorous twists. Poe and Twain would have been proud.














 






Cambridge; Salem witch trials; Marblehead -
Need I say more?




Eragon the Dragon Rider, narrates his familiarity with the cities of Alagaësia
and its many races, including dragons, humans, Urgals, dwarves and elves.
This book is the 'intermission',  as it were, between the third and fourth installment
of Eragon's Inheritance Cycle.




Let the games continue………
I slipped into this one with the intent of only tasting a few words but gosh darn-it,
Ender Wiggin's universe pulled me back in so easily that now I can‘t get out.
 Now I don’t want to get out.
 So the end of Twisted River will have to wait.
