Finished Jim Henson: The Biography by Brian Jay Jones. I grew up on Sesame Street, and I remember faithfully watching The Muppet Show when it first aired.
I didn't know about all the stuff Henson did before those television shows. I remember my dad being excited to see Rowlf on the show, though I had never seen that muppet before. Now I understand that Rowlf is almost as old as Kermit, and both were advertising staples well before I was born.
At any rate, it is a very nice look into the life and career of a bona fide genius.
Next, I am looking at maybe The Girl with a Clock for a Heart by Peter Swanson, or The Ghost Brigade by John Scalzi, and Invader by C. J. Cherryh. Though I might squeeze Drew Barrymore's Wildflower in there somewhere.
Then again, there's a potential for a pair of freebies tomorrow, neh?
