In this tortuous year 2020, one of my bright spots has been the new habit of spending my Sunday breakfast reading the coming week's entries in An Almanac for Moderns. Looking at my reviews for the other Peattie books I have read so far, it seems I am unable to write such a review without mentioning how sweetly Peattie's prose speaks to me. I am pleased to report that he still delights me.
I purchased a printed version of this book for myself, and two copies for my best friends. It is my hope that in our infrequent weekends together, we might discuss our thoughts on Peattie's thoughts.
