2/4: good things in books

I got to think about similes as I was comparing a Vergilian simile to one from Rick Riordan's Lightning Thief.  While I was making the salad for dinner, I told Chris that it always makes a day better when I get to think about similes.

After dinner Chris and I read more of Moominland Midwinter aloud.  It was a fantastic chapter about a blizzard (among other things), which made it fitting material for a snowed-in day.

And I looked at Twain's Extracts from Adam's Diary with a view to using it in a project soon.
