It's back to the battle again.

From Madison.com

“A graduate student in the UW-Madison library and information studies department has created a day just for pleasure reading.

Called "Do Nothing But Read Day," Amanda Lanyon-LeSage wants people to remain in their pajamas, find a comfy chair, and curl up and read on Sunday, Dec. 20.

And that doesn't mean work or school related reading.

Lanyon-LeSage said she wanted to encourage everyone to take a break from their hectic lives - and the frenzy of the holidays - to just relax and read for fun.

"I decided to start Do Nothing But Read Day because I haven't gotten a chance to have a day of nonstop reading in a long time," she said. "As a library student, someone who loves books and reading, that frustrated me."

Lanyon-LeSage has a website for the project at: http://donothingbutreadday.blogspot.com/.”

The passenger seat of my car is stacked high with books. I think the librarian who fetched all my armload of books-on-hold last night was puzzled by the juxtaposition of Baba Yaga and The Stinky Cheese Man and Anais Nin.

Driving past the Dane County airport this morning, observed enormous snow-blower, resembling a tractor, on the runway, and a plume of snow that must have been thirty feet high. This blog is dangerously backsliding into being a cabinet of curiosities.
