The title of this post reminded me of The Island of the Day Before by Umberto Eco. Not my favorite of his books, but I love the title, Eco is brainy, and the cover of the hardback is pretty, so when I read it it made me look smart and artistic. The protagonist is the sole survivor of a shipwreck in the 17th century who finds himself washed up on the deck of another ship anchored off an island in the South Pacific. He comes to believe the Prime Meridian lies directly between himself and the island he watches from the deck. Get it? Pretty awesome conceit. If you haven't read Eco, though, definitely head straight to The Name of the Rose.
Mmm... Kashi Heart to Heart. I sometimes measure out a serving, put it in a snack zip bag and put in my purse for an afternoon pick-me-up. Are you back to counting points? :) Which meeting?
ReplyDeleteI, too, have enjoyed reading Umberto Eco - and my fave is "The Name of the Rose."
Whatcha eatin' next?
Good idea, G. Yes, I'm counting points again. For the millionth time. I don't have a regular meeting I go to - but I love Lenore and try to follow her around when I can. Have you met her? She's remarkable! All the boys stalk her. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm a Friday Maggie meeting kinda gal. I can walk to the meetings and there are a group of folks from my building who also go. If we get enough people from here, maybe we can get an "At Home" meeting started! :)
