I have learned to know and trust what I like and
want. I am so please when several or
more of my likes and wants converge, which is what happened recently.
A recent chosen luxury is my subscription to The New
Yorker. The October 17th edition includes
Adam Gopnik’s article about The Phantom Tollbooth, which is celebrating its 50th
year. This past Saturday, my Son and I attended the RI Festival of Children’s Books and Authors at the Lincoln School. Norton Juster was one of the Authors! My Son and I met and spoke with Mr. Juster, who signed the copy that we purchased.
This convergence provided a fabulous current experience. It also revived childhood memories. I remember owning and cherishing The Phantom Tollbooth. However, I can’t recall reading it; I didn’t read very much. I don’t know what happened to that book, but I have it again. This time, I will remember reading it, which I hope too for my Son.
