Thanksgiving Day Thanks for Books and More
Today, Thanksgiving Day in the United States, I am very thankful for health, family, friends, interesting work, living in a beautiful and congenial locale, and much more. And -- on the topic of this blog -- I am exceedingly grateful for books (a special thanks for Jane Austen's novels!), magazines, newspapers (especially the San Francisco Chronicle), academic journals, books-on-tape, publishers, libraries (especially the USF library and the Mill Valley Public Library), bookstores (especially Book Passage, Books Inc., and Green Apple), my reading group, my reading friends (C, M, B, S, and many more), my good fortune in having been able to publish books and journal articles of my own, the opportunity to write about books and all things book-related on this blog (special thanks to Mary, who urged me to start the blog), and you, the readers of this blog!

Steph, I'm thankful for the pleasure of "tuning in" here almost every day, and reading your fresh, interesting, informative,and always fun take on reading, writing and literature! It's a treat--thank you!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, on behalf of the folks at Gleeson Library, thanks for the thanks!
ReplyDeleteMary, not only did you urge me to start this blog, but you have been a consistent supporter...much appreciated! Joe, as you know, Gleeson Library is one of my favorite places, and you often see me hanging out at the "new books" shelf, as well as bringing students for you to teach/orient to the library. Any excuse to visit the library....!
