Moon Over Eden
Oct. 11th, 2012 04:48 pmHere is a thing I would not want to see walking towards me in a forest. Or anywhere, really.
In early September I read The Complete Polysyllabic Spree, which is a collection of magazine columns that Nick Hornby wrote about the books he read each month. Well, I thought, I can do that too, even it might be for just one month. It would be nice to demonstrate to myself that I read more than ridiculous old novels.
( September books read )
This week's random word:
23. Joy
Our forebears were so keen on the word 'joy' that it replaced three Middle English words: wunne, hight and rot, all of which meant the same thing. They must have been a happy lot back then to need all those words for joy.
Also: it's my mum's middle name. So there you go.
Next week: lunch
