[New-Poetry] About Finnegan About Gilbert About Fame

[Halvard Johnson]

There's something to be said for marking up library books as well.
I vividly remember the copy of Cooper's The Deerslayer that,
every now and then, had encouraging words from some previous
reader: little messages such as "Cheer up. Only three hundred pages
to go"; "Only two hundred pages now"; and so on.
