I'm in New Hampshire, eating the first Kit-Kat bar I've had in who-knows-how long. It's sunny and about 48F. I just returned Blood Meridian to the library and picked up Kenneth Koch's Rose, Where Did You Get That Red? Teaching Great Poetry to Children. I'll probably take a practice GRE in a little bit, or end up watching Battlestar Galactica episodes, since I foolishly re-watched the miniseries last night. I just know I'm gonna get sucked back in.

I went to pull out my copy of KK's Rose... book, but couldn't find it. I love that book. Found Wishes, Lies, and Dreams and Sleeping on the Wing though. Handy for inspiration, but hubski's inspiring enough right now.

Of course, this is coincidental, but at the library it took three librarians to find the book and in the end it was one shelf above the spot indicated by the Dewey decimal number. Your comment made me briefly imagine that all copies of the book are difficult to find today for some reason.

because winter is coming on, all the books with Rose in the title have gone into hiding. Just try and find Ecco's The Name of the Rose today.
