Rite of Fancy

A short summary of Consider the Fork: Why the fork we have table manners. My favorite Bee Wilson quote from the book: "The subtext of all table manners is the fear that the man next to you may pull his knife on you."  Questions I pondered while reading Consider the Fork: Knife or knife-less? Was everyone just nicer to each other back then? My review of Consider the Fork: I love food! I love history! I would have starved prior if born prior to 1950. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, writer, and photographer currently living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?

A short summary of the book The Robe: A tribunal's view of the crucifixion of Christ, and its aftermath. My favorite Lloyd C. Douglas quote from the book: "Making peace is always more difficult than making war." Questions I pondered while reading The Robe: What has crippled me with guilt? Can you find peace through atonement? My review of The Robe: A good journey with a good lesson. Religion should be a verb, not a noun. Perhaps we could all follow the examples. **************************************** a.d. elliott is a wanderer, writer, and photographer currently living in Salem, Virginia.  In addition to the travel writings at  www.takethebackroads.com , you can also read her book reviews at  www.riteoffancy.com  and US military biographies at  www.everydaypatriot.com Her online photography gallery can be found at  shop.takethebackroads.com #TaketheBackRoads Like my page?
