Supper is just too regional a word to really do what I want it to do in that title. Actually, it would’ve been helped a whole heck of a lot if Da Vinci had simply called his famous painting something like “The Final Dinner.” Of course, the blame for that Biblical phrase might just belong with the collective of poets and scribes that worked on the King James Version. But that makes no sense, because they were all big-time fanboys for Shakespeare! And let me tell you, Will loved him some dinner. He did! Go read The Taming of The Shrew Much Ado About Nothing (damn) if you don’t believe me. “Against my will I am sent to bid you come into dinner.”
Anyway. The purpose of this post is merely to direct your attention to a certain news item about a popular author and this particular cartoon at Something Positive that goes with it.
Someone mentioned something to me yesterday that deserves a little pondering, but it just might provide inspiration for a nice stack of posts. More on that later.
In the meantime, Nikki & I are heading across the ocean in a little over a week. Trans-Atlantic flights are tests of will even under the best circumstances, but they do provide unusually long stretches of time best suited for little more than sleeping or reading. With that in mind, I’d like anyone who takes time out of their day to drop a book selecting in Ye Olde Comments.
Note: I’ve a couple of stipulations. First, no hardcovers. I love new books as much as the next guy, but hardbacks weigh a ton and take up too much bag-space. Secondly, nothing too classic/academic (for lack of a better word), as I’m going to be reading this book (these books) under whatever conditions the plane provides. Now … recommend like the wind!
