Cultural literacy

Sol Sternberg has a great education article at City Journal about E.D. HIrsch's Cultural Literacy movement - the concept that early in schooling, children need to understand certain Core Knowledge subjects (that the education establishment positively hates): "For example, the Core Knowledge curriculum specifies that in English language arts, all second-graders read poems by Robert Louis Stevenson,Emily...

Sky’s the Limit, Part 2

On my way home from an errand downtown, I was absorbing the fall colors when I was suddenly struck through by the desire to see the portion of California’s Sierra Nevada foothills that lay just east of where I was born. I’ve taken many a slow drive through those hills, in every season, borne along by silence, thought, and emotion that seemed part of the rocks and dry grass themselves, under...

Dewy's 24-Hour Read-a-Thon: I'm here! Where are you?

I have to make the family some lunch (quick sandwiches -- LOL) so, I am to start by listening to I Am Legend (S.F. Masterworks) by Richard Matheson on my iPod as I busy myself in the kitchen. Hope that counts! (Check out the fantastic vampire cover!) After that, the family are going out, and I am going to be left to my own devices until they return later this evening. Which is nice! I've loaded up...

Back to the Library Sale

We did go back to the library sale, and brought home another boxful. The Apprentice also filled up a bag with CDs, audio books and books of her own (including some Biochemistry software). Still it was kind of sad leaving all the rest of those boxes behind to be euthanized recycled. Books we didn't have: Give the Dog a Bone , by Steven Kellogg April's Kittens , by Clare Turlay Newberry (I got this to...

B.W.'s Shameless Book Plug: 6 Monsters

Getting a degree in English can be tedious at times. The classics of literature do not always make the most compelling reading. But every so often you'll come across a terrific bit of writing that is still a page-turner after a century or two. For the scary season, the vast staff of Richardson & Bluhm print-on-demand books has compiled a half-dozen of the best page-turners in literature, from names...

Weird Random Reads: Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

From Marvel's incredible, but sadly short-lived, Supernatural Thrillers (issue #4, March 1973), here's Ron Goulart and Win Mortimer adapting Robert Louis Stevenson's horror classic. Can you dig it? (And speaking of diggin', how about that Ron Wilson/Ernie Chan/John Romita cover?)

The Secret Lives of Somerset Maugham, By Selina Hastings

William Somerset Maugham was at various times the most famous, successful and wealthiest living writer of the first half of the 20th century. His books outsold stellar contemporaries such as Robert Louis Stevenson and Joseph Conrad, his plays were performed all over the world and his stories were a never-ending resource for the new moving pictures. Garlanded and gonged, in Britain he was made a Companion...

Victorian Villainies

Another book I picked up at Hay-on-Wye was Victorian Villainies , a book I first read not long after it came out in 1984. It’s an omnibus volume of four books, selected by Graham Greene and his brother Hugh, and with an introduction by Hugh. The brothers were very keen collectors of Victorian mysteries, and produced a rather rare bibliography of key titles. This omnibus was the product of their...

from Delancey Place . . . Writers

In today's excerpt - famous writers and their odd ways of writing: "Dame Edith Sitwell used to lie in an open coffin for a while before she began her day's writing. When I mentioned this macabre bit of gossip to a poet friend, he said acidly, 'If only someone had thought to shut it.' ... "Sitwell's coffin trick may sound like a prank, unless you look at how other writers have gone about courting...
