Glass at every level in that photo, A R. All of it giving a feeling of solidity, just when the word seems to convey the exact opposite.
As for Salinger, it's been at least....oh at least, for sure, since I last read Raise High. What? forty years maybe? I didn't even remember the names of the principal characters nor the occupation of the parents. Must have another look at it one of these days.
best (I'm not playing the theme this week - sick again and laying low, which allows me to stroll through my favorite blogs, a nice luxury.)
I confess to never having read any Salinger. I like the quote, however. Clever way of tying it in with the topic, Avid.
Now I want to read it, too!
Thank you avid. Happy theme Thursday!
take care
peace and love
xoxo
Clever indeed, my reading friend! Have a wonderful day!
Will have to dust off my Salinger and re-read!
nice pic! love the layers!
A good book, pair of glasses and a great glass of wine. That says it all.
Well, this post got my attention quickly! Salinger is one of my favorite authors to read and re-read, and "Franny and Zooey" is right at the very top of my list of most-cherished books.
That is indeed a clever shot...and by the looks of it a difficult one to do...but you did it magnificently!
Fabulous photo...fabulous quote! Clever glassy post.
The Glass family is one of my favorites. I love Zooey. I really really do.
Wonderful picture.
I didn't read this one, but The Catcher in the Rye was one of my all-time favorites.
Salinger has been on my list for years, but havent got around to him ... Any book in particular a good starting off point?
I love Nine Stories and Franny & Zooey best, but they're all good. He's written more novels, but feels there is a wonderful freedom in not publishing them.
Creative ; )
Glass and paper. Ephemeral sand. Deep, layered photo. I enjoyed it very much.
This is very cool.
glasses upon glasses
glasses inside glasses
clever clever
i've fallen behind keeping up and just caught up.....I love the painting of the cat reading in the banner....
AR,
Thanks for your comment. I think I'll give the poetry a break for a bit, and deal with other things. I've not yet started the book for this month, so must get to that.
Please post more regarding your library project and interviews. That is something I'd love to do...
Take Care,
I've never read Salinger but for some reason I keep seeing his name over and over. I've decided that it must be fate or coincidence..I'm going to read him anways! Great post, that picture intrigues the heck out of me.
So authors that I need to reread. D'oh.
Is it wrong to say that I find Salinger supremely overrated?
