I recently read Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. It is a lovely and poetic work about a 12-year-old boy and one magical summer in his childhood. It is a metaphor for youth and self-awareness (or lack of).

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. kind of a struggle for me. I guess I'm too old for it.

I am working on The Sacred & The Profane,  written in 1956 by Mircea Eliade [French]. The subtitle is "The sidnificance of religious myth, symbolism, and ritual within life and culture."It took several hours to get through the first 25 pages.
