On my last bookmark post, Mary Walker said… “I love the feeling I get sitting on the couch with a stack of three or more art books taking out the bookmark and reading a section popping the bookmark back in and moving on to the next. The weight of the books on my lap and the height it gives me to prop the book I’m reading feels right.”
That just made me want to go over to Mary’s house and read art books. Doesn’t it sound wonderful?

poetry, and ethics. He was born in 384 B.C. in Macedonia. He studied
