todays post

I received two books today. In real life they might not seem to have anything to do with one another, but somehow Annie Dillard is connected to Thoreau in my mind. As anyone reading my writing this month will know, nature are invading my life at the present. So I guess it's in nature I'll have to start searching for similarities between the two authors.

The first thing one notice when looking at the books, is how beautiful the design of Cramer's edition of Walden is, and how extremely undelightful the front cover of Dillard's book is! How can anyone come up with such an ugly idea for a cover???

Rather unusual - both books starts with a map of the landscape where the stories takes place - now it's up to my future reading to discover the rest ...
