Reading Rocks the Mind. Friday, March 13, 2009. Lately I haven't had much time for reading. What's that? Blasphemy," you say.

Reading Rocks the Mind: A little light reading
http://readingrocksthemind.blogspot.com/2009/02/little-light-reading.html
Reading Rocks the Mind. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. A little light reading. I'm currently reading Firmin. By Sam Savage. Firmin is a rat who learns how to read and is thwarted by his inability to communicate with humans and his alienation from other rats. I consider this book to be an homage to literature. I think you will appreciate the literary references and the book titles that Firmin dreams up. If you've just slogged your way through Collaspe. Is just the ticket. February 10, 2009 at 10:27 PM.
