Wish I had time to chit-chat today, but I'm off to the center of the earth. With Jules Verne, of course. I've already found the secret instructions:
Would you like to come along? It's certainly not too late and we'll be traveling with an accomplished (though perhaps a bit eccentric) geologist and his nephew, so there's nothing to fear. You aren't afraid of heights, are you? Or, should I say, depths? Easily remedied by a five-day course of ascending 150 steps to the top of a steeple on the Island of Amak, in the southeast quarter of Copenhagen.
How about supplies? A letter of introduction to the Governor of Iceland is already prepared and our geologist friend has packed all the ropes and torches and pickaxes and alpenstocks we will need.
So join us, if you will. We're waiting for you, if you'll hurry along.
*Verne, Jules (2009-10-04). A Journey to the Centre of the Earth (p. 17). Public Domain Books. Kindle Edition.
Later they'll mill around the open dictionaries and compare their thoughts on the afternoon's literary intake....
That's what happens at the Sunday Salon, except it's all virtual. Every Sunday the bloggers participating in that week's Salon get together--at their separate desks, in their own particular time zones--and read. And blog about their reading. And comment on one another's blogs. Think of it as an informal, weekly, mini read-a-thon, an excuse to put aside one's earthly responsibilities and fall into a good book.

Sounds like fun! Enjoy!!
