I went to the Library today.
Got “The Redeemer” by Jo Nesbo,” which I had reserved for some months. This book belonged in between the “Harry Hole” books I read at the end of last year, but for some reason the English translation was not available. The library had a copy that had been published in Canada. It finally became available. Now I’ll need to refresh my memory….
So, I will have to go back and finish “The Nuremberg Interviews” later. The last interview that I read was that of Hermann Goering. (Shiver.)
I also picked up a copy of “The World of Edward Gorey” by Ross/Wilkin. Gorey is one of my all-time favorite artists. Not only do I love his art, but I love his wit. While his work has been described as “macabre“, I see it as simply a comment on all that is ABSURD about our world. An interesting person; he made the world a better place.
And while I was at (I love browsing through art books), I also picked up “Making Mischief – a Maurice Sendak Appreciation” by Gregory Maguire. Sendak is another of my favorites. I will never part with my son’s copy of “Where the Wild Things Are;” it’s now a treasured part of my collection!
And, finally, I also picked up on a whim, this wonderful book: “The Zen of Seeing (Seeing/Drawing as a Meditation)” by Frederick Franck.
