The delights of reading

No comments | Posted Feb 25, 2006 in Bookland, Bookmaking, Books

Today is pretty much the final day for Trans­lat­ing Scrip­ture — we’re send­ing it to press on Monday. All the for­mat­ting is done, so we’re down to just last-​minute changes. And I’m redo­ing the translit­er­a­tion system, and I’ve got to find out how to make an authen­tic copy­right page. :)

Other than that, I stopped by the library for twenty min­utes ear­lier today and sat down in the read­ing room with a copy of Edith Wharton’s The Age of Inno­cence. The first chap­ter was okay, but it wasn’t until the second that I started get­ting hooked. I fully intended to stop after the second, in fact, but I just had to read the third. And unfor­tu­nately I had to leave it in the read­ing room for a future date, for I still have to finish Jane Eyre. There are too many good books to read! A Tale of Two Cities is sit­ting on my desk wait­ing to be read, along with War and Peace and The Broth­ers Kara­ma­zov. Someday…
