I almost didn't include it in the post, because after all Parlabane is a pretty evil character and maybe not someone whose advice you'd want to take. But in that quote, I think, that was Robertson Davies' voice speaking, not the character's. Jill, I like your reading plan. I've tried a variety of programs but none of 'em ever seem to stick. :P Heh heh, glad you guys liked the quote.

I think it's time for a Robertson Davies reread weekend soon. I love this quote, and I’m glad you had the chance to rejuvenate your roots!

What would that be? A triple whammy?

Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:27:20 +0000 http://bookworm.pilcrow.biz/2007/11/09/tap-root/#comment-157629 Great blog. Glad to hear your roots are growing. How do you decide what's on your reading list? I hit upon a good way to keep myself supplied with good books. During my commute I scan through a literature guide circling good candidates. Currently, I'm using 360 Degrees of Reading by W.E. Poplaski as my source. Then I take my guide to the library/bookstore and go down my list till I find something available. Great blog. Glad to hear your roots are growing.

I just finished reading Davies' "The Manticore" - must be something about November that encourages his particular brand of storytelling. Anyway, thanks for adding another book to my "What To Read Someday Soon" list. I really like this quote.
