Books Fun Facts of the Day
Posted by on Thu, Nov 29 at 3:37 PM
I learned some interesting stuff from Garrison Keillor this afternoon.*
1. Louisa May Alcott, Madeline L’Engle, and CS Lewis share a birthday. Today! Happy birthday, guys.
2. Before she found a formula that worked with Little Women, Alcott wrote “lurid” Victorian potboilers (like A Long Fatal Love Chase) under a male pseudonym.
3. CS Lewis had his religious conversion (prompted by conversations with JRR Tolkien) while walking to the zoo.
Who knew!
*Am I fired for this?

I hope you're not fired. Also, A Long Fatal Love Chase is an excellent read!
(Also, all of the people you wished a happy birthday to are now dead.)
