Knitting it all together: 11/01/2014 - 12/01/2014

Knitting it all together. Knitting, books and movies, etc. Sunday, November 02, 2014. I wanted to love J.K. Rowling's first post-Harry Potter novel, The Casual Vacancy. Indeed, the novel reads like the author has an axe to grind, but I'm sympathetic to this particular axe, which seems to be a desire to castigate those who heap scorn upon the poor from the safety of their comfortable homes. I know the species, and its members deserve every dig the famous author can send their way. Links to this post.

Knitting it all together. Knitting, books and movies, etc. Wednesday, April 30, 2014. The release of a film based on a popular novel often spurs me to add the book to my reading list; rarely does it prompt me to see the movie. Such was the case with Winter's Tale. By Mark Helprin, which had been on my "to read" list for at least a year, although I can't recall how it got there. My primary criticism of the book is that it's simply too long. I'm not one to shrink from reading long novels, but this one ...

Traverse City Fitness Pals: My weighty story
http://tcfitnesspals.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html
Traverse City Fitness Pals. Eating and exercising for personal and planetary health. Image courtesy of [image creator name] / FreeDigitalPhotos.net. I was teased as a child for being so skinny. I remember older relatives watching me eat copious helpings of ice cream directly from the carton, warning, "that'll catch up with you one day." They were right, but it didn't start catching up until I was in college. So in 30 years, I had packed on nearly 80 pounds, mostly in large chunks following major life cha...

Knitting it all together: The Woman in White
http://knitnthink.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-woman-in-white.html
Knitting it all together. Knitting, books and movies, etc. Monday, October 13, 2014. The Woman in White. My favorite category of literature is British novels of the 19th century. (I'm also extraordinarily fond of the music and poetry of the 19th century; perhaps I had a previous life in that time). Having just finished another novel of the era, I've been pondering the common characteristics that link Austen, Dickens, Elliot, et al, in my mind, and so far I'm at a loss to account for it. I'm grateful Mr&#...
