Before I read Piranesi, Three Men in a Boat (To Say Nothing of the Dog) was the book I had reread most often.

I’m rereading it again.

Three Men in a Boat is the story of three young Englishmen in London (one of whom has a dog) who decided to spend two weeks on the Thames. Since the Thames flows TOWARD London, they will row against the current, or one of them will get out and walk along the tow path towing the boat with a rope. Some people consider that a good time.

At any rate, the book was meant to be a travelogue, telling of the notable sites and spots along the river. It does that, but with many many MANY asides. There are informative bits, descriptive bits, and sad bits, but mostly there are funny bits. I find them funny, at any rate. I mean, obviously.

You’re welcome.

I’m still fascinated with the Korea stamping plates. This weeks’s are pink on pink. Sara says they look like hanbok.

About

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    I had to look up Hanbok but I liked the nails without knowing what they looked like.

    By the way, I am having an easier time accessing your site this week.

      I’m glad WordPress is being more cooperative this week. You just never know.
