A book that I recently acquired for the purposes of giving it away.

An amusing little gem of no great serious substance that celebrates life and literature and, indirectly, language. The vocabulary of this book at first seems kind of pretentious or overly precious but quickly becomes central to the charm. Hector and Virgil have an interesting life at their BnB with Waffles the cat and Mrs. Rochester the parrot and their guests. A nice read for a lazy day.

This book is going to meet-up today.

Any future reader or recipient of this book is encouraged to leave a journal entry here on the BookCrossing site to let prior readers know the fate of the book. You can make an anonymous entry without joining the BookCrossing movement, but if you are interested in joining, it is a free and spam-free community where your contact information is not shared with others. Best of all, members receive private messages via e-mail from books like this one when those books are journaled, allowing for long-term relationships between books and readers.

Picked up at the meet-up in Rockville today.
