Wright, David (1985). Geoffrey Chaucer: The Canterbury Tales.
Oxford University Press (Oxford, England & Oxford, New York). I find myself, from time to time, picking up this book and reading particular selections of Chaucer. I often find myself re-reading Wright's introduction to Chaucer, so that I am reminded of Chaucer's place in time and where he stood socially - due to his father, John Chaucer, a well-to-do wholesale wine merchant who lived on Thames Street, which at one time was a weathy district in London and his father's marriage to a wealthy heiress, Agnes de Copton - and to also re-acquaint myself with Chaucer's long-storied career in service to the public. I don't know why I do that, but I do - every single time I return to read some tale in this book. While soaking in the tub last night, the latest tale I read from Chaucer was: The Fragment of The Wife of Bath's Tale (pp. 219 - 250). |

Where they stand : the American presidents in the eyes of voters and historians by Robert W. Merry. The rating of American presidents is a popular fascination for scholars and citizens alike. Merry believes that professionals' opinions are, however, sometimes out of sync with those of the people and, specifically, the electorate that installed or repudiated a president. Therefore, he accords the vox populi weight equal to the verdicts of seven polls of historians conducted over past decades. The professors and the voters exhibit no differences over who were the best presidents Washington, Lincoln, and FDR but they diverge over nominees for the near-great category; electorates liked Jackson and Reagan, but historians have been critical. Likewise, the dons praise Wilson and Truman, whereas the people voted their parties out of power. To bridge such discrepancies, Merry combines fluid commentary on what impresses historians and application of his rule for the populace's standard of approval, rewarding an incumbent with a second term and succession by his party's nominee. Anything less plunges a president down the scale to average or failure, with near-great Polk as a conspicuous exception. |

I'm rereading George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Season 3 of Game of Thrones is awesome and it's been awhile since I've read the earlier books in the series. I'm a little irritated that Martin is releasing The Wit and Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister at the end of this year. It's a lesson in patience, since I really want the next book in the series instead, and he takes so long to write them. Call it an irrational fear, but George isn't a young man and the times when I consider that he could potentially die before finishing the series are pearl-clutching moments. |

catching up
just finished with old mail.
now on to the instructions for a leveling product that i hope works. |
Just listened to the CD of:
"Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church" by Lauren Drain and Lisa Pulitzer" [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Banished-Surviving-Westboro-Baptist-Church/dp/1455512427/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368014671&sr=8-1&keywords=banished"]Banished: Surviving My Years in the Westboro Baptist Church: Lauren Drain, Lisa Pulitzer: 9781455512423: Amazon.com: Books[/ame] I think it's read by the author but I could be wrong. In any case the reading of it is just beautiful which makes a big difference to me for books on CD. It's an amazing book that I'm sure I will listen to again at some point. For those who don't know, Westboro Baptist Church is the "God Hates Fags" church. It's about how this girl, now woman, Lauren's, parents ended up moving their family to Kansas and joining the church. It's a fascinating in depth look at this religious cult and the psychology of the people involved from the inner workings of the church day to day, particularly Shirley Phelps. Highly recommended but chilling. |
