A short book for short notice! For March, we’ll be reading Mr. Wilson’s Cabinet of Wonder by Lawrence Weschler. It looks like a fun read and there are many illustrations, with tons of notes at the back for those who love that sort of detail. Bring a snack or drinks to share!

from amazon.com:
“Pronged ants, horned humans, a landscape carved on a fruit pit-some of the displays in David Wilson’s Museum of Jurassic Technology are hoaxes. But which ones? As he guides readers through an intellectual hall of mirrors, Lawrence Weschler revisits the 16th-century “wonder cabinets” that were the first museums and compels readers to examine the imaginative origins of both art and science. Illustrations.”

Please note that Jennifer and Jeff now have two lovely pups, Adler and Tully! I think they’re quite charming, but they can be put away if folks are allergic or phobic. I also understand that the narwhal has been replaced.
