100(ish) Books

98 of the 100-ish books I’ve read since I started keeping a list in TypePad:

       

          

           

           

          

          

          

          

          

       

I say 100-ish  because I know there are a few I’ve missed and there are probably one or two here that I didn’t finish. The two missing thumbnails:

1. Paul Auster: Timbucktu
2. Michael Chabon: Mysteries of Pittsburg

The Educated Imagination

Literature speaks the language of the imagination, and the study of literature is supposed to train and improve the imagination. But we use our imagination all the time: it comes into all our conversations and practical life: it even produces dreams while we’re asleep. Consequently, we only have the choice between a badly trained imagination and a well trained one, whether we ever read a poem or not.

-- Northrop Frye in The Educated Imagination
