Yesterday my sister Caly and her husband Jim departed for Virginia, where Jim is being hired as the head superintendent of a new golf course being built in Farmville. It's not only a big change for them, but for the rest of the family, as well.
I finished The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I enjoyed it. Having reread it, and in an unabridged, unedited form, I can see I was missing a lot when we read it in junior high.
Next on the list is another book that I read in school, though again perhaps too early: Animal Farm. I last read it as a freshman in high school, and something tells me that I wasn't properly equipped to understand it back then. This particular edition is published by the Folio Society, and features illustrations by Quentin Blake, also known for his work with Roald Dahl.
