Welcome to my commonplace blog

The goal of this blog is to preserve a few ideas and quotes from books I read. In the old days when books were not so readily available, people kept "commonplace books" where they copied choice passages they wanted to be able to remember and perhaps reuse. The idea got picked up by V.F.D. and it's common knowledge that most of that organization's volunteers have kept commonplace books, and so have Laura and I.

I'm sure there are many other Internet sites and blogs dedicated to the same idea. But this one is mine. Feel free to look around and leave comments, but not spam.

The King Thing (Neil Bastian)

Written by a friend of a friend, i got this for free on Amazon. It turned out to be funny and gripping, i read it in less than 24 hours.

Quotes:

I know it hasn’t gone to plan, but it’s working out better than we thought. I’ve got three hundred “Likes” on Facebook now.’
