Mental Multivitamin has a wonderful “un-blog” that so often seems to see into my home. Kind of scary! Today she reminds her readers to get back to reading Edith Grossman’s translation of Don Quixote in honor of the 400th anniversary of its publication. I’m one of those who bought the book early in 2004 with good intentions, and Engineer Husband and I do need to get back to it. 
Mental Multivitamin also has an occasional feature called “On the nightstand (under the pillow, in the knapsack, etc.)” She gives us a picture and commentary about what the family has been reading, skimming, browsing through, etc. In the most recent post of this nature, M-MV has a hardbound copy of Lord of the Rings, just the book that we’re referring to and re-reading around here in preparation for a marathon movie viewing around the first of the new year in honor of Tolkien’s birthday (January 3rd). As the urchins would say, Mental Multivitamin rocks!
