Wednesday? Ah, yes -- reading meme day.

It's been pretty much entirely poetry, largely from the first Oxford Book of English Verse (1250-1900) and A Victorian Anthology (1837-1895) ed. by Edmund Stedman, plus all but the last canto of The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott. Which is still a good read in a Highland romance sort of way.
