Google Eyes


"What in the world you doin, Google Eyes?
He sang, very slowly, while he and the child looked at each other...
What in the world you doin, Google Eyes?...
His eyes slowly closed, sprang, open, almost in alarm, closed again.
Where did you get them great big Google eyes?
You're the best there is and I need you in my biz,
Where in the world did you get them Google Eyes?"

-- James Agee, "A Death in the Family" (1938)


With the completion of two major landscaping projects, the lawn and garden are ready to welcome spring. The only thing left to do now is acquiring new lawn and patio furniture. That could wait. In the meantime, I have my google eyes on some books.

In-progress (possible book review candidates):

1. Elvi Rhodes - A House by the Sea
2. John C. Wright - The Golden Age
3. James Agee - A Death in the Family
4. Dorothy Dunnett - Queen's Play
