| An interesting approach to food and health that seems contrary to many long-held beliefs, but as I have encountered in several other books, it turns out many of those beliefs were more marketing schemes than actual nutritional information. This is wh ...more | |

The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia, #4):
"The 6th book chronologically in the series. This was umm the least engaging of the books to me, which was weird coming off the last book that was probably the best to me. There just wasn't a lot that engaged with me in this one. I am listening to the"

The Magician’s Nephew (Chronicles of Narnia, #6):
"Loved this first book chronologically in the series. I can't say enough good things about this particular book. It was light-hearted and whimsical. I would have felt probably even stronger had I read it is a child and had nostalgia attached but this "

“...it is also true that the classics have scarcely lost in absolute value as a voucher of scholastic respectability, since for this purpose it is only necessary that the scholar should be able to put in evidence some learning which is conventionally recognized as evidence of wasted time; and the classics lend themselves with great facility to this use.”

“As felicitous an instance of futile classicism as can well be found, outside of the Far East, is the conventional spelling of the English language. A breach of the proprieties in spelling is extremely annoying and will discredit any writer in the eyes of all persons who are possessed of a developed sense of the true and beautiful. English orthography satisfies all the requirements of conspicuous waste. It is archaic, cumbrous, and ineffective; it’s acquisition consumes much time and effort; failure to acquire it is easy of detection. Therefore it is the first and readiest test of reputability in learning, and conformity to its ritual is indispensable to a blameless scholastic life.”
