Lots of stuff I don't remember from the first reading, like all the birds and the loris and the mouse who welcome Alice when she first gets to Wonderland, as well as the foot race between them where Alice has to hand out candies in her pocket as rewards afterwards. Or the pigeon who flies past Alice after she grows in size when eating from the caterpillar's mushroom, and mistakes her for a snake.

Done with "Adventures in Wonderland", paying significantly more attention to the poems which are quite good on their own right. I also find the chapters with the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle one of the funniest things I've ever read, especially when the Mock Turtle goes on about having learned in school about arithmetic categories like "derision", "distraction" and "uglification".

been wanting to reread this for the first time in years after watching Jan Svankmajer's 1988 film version (where Alice is played by a human but Wonderland's inhabitants by puppets)
