Status Updates From The Big Book of Classic Fan...

The story behind The Nutcracker ballet is all kinds of nuts, like a horoscope revealing incredible specifics about how to break an ugliness curse on a princess placed by a mouse and then it's like, "they travelled the world for 15 years and saw such amazing things but I can't tell you about them." It all went down because a king was sad that there wasn't enough bacon in his sausage. 19th-C Germany had good 'shrooms.

Hans-my-Hesgehog: A brothers Grimm story from the part of the German forests where the good mushrooms grow. Drunk folklore. Wtf.

The first story, demonstrates the editor's commitment to a broad scope of stories, with something not exactly of publication quality, although an interesting little tidbit. "Classic" in this book does not mean what most people would think. This will be more academic than expected. That's fine, it will be an experience.

A new reading project for a new year.
