We Thank You for This Book We're About to Read…

Date June 19, 2006 Posted by Amy Hall

Why didn't this ever occur to me?  What an excellent idea!

 

I am disposed to say grace upon twenty other occasions in the course of the day besides my dinner. I want a form for setting out upon a pleasant walk, for a moonlight ramble, for a friendly meeting or a solved problem. Why have we none for books, those spiritual repasts–a grace before Milton, a devotional exercise proper to be said before reading [Spenser]?

 

–Charles Lamb (1775-1834)

    Ever since I saw Over the Hedge, I've been self-conscious about praying before eating. The last thing I want is for the critters outside to think I'm worshipping the food.

    eh???? You seriously need to go see that. It's an awesome movie, and it could change your life! I've seen it twice.
