I read.

And think about reading. And check out too many library books.
Yesterday, one of the books I checked out give me a little bit of a surprise...

Page 14: "Mystical night journey" description.

Me to myself: That kind of reminds me of Christine de Pizan...

Page 15: "It is generally accepted that Dante based his Divine Comedy on the story of Muhammed's night ascension into heaven..."

Really?

Why did I never learn about that in Dante class at Jesuit college?

(Unless it was sandwiched in somewhere between lengthy disquisitions on Thomas Aquinas...)

I wish I was better at reading in French
