What’s in a name?

“So, how do you pronounce ‘Read Queen’ – is it ‘Red‘ Queen or ‘Reed‘ Queen?”

Well, just as the Queen herself says:

“I love to read, the Queen she said, and in so doing I am well read.”

So the pronunciation is ‘red’ as a book must be ‘read’ in order to be a used book. It’s also an homage to The Red Queen of Lewis Carroll’s classic Through the Looking-Glass (the follow up to Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland), two of our favorite books.

In a quote all too fitting to our current times, Carroll’s Red Queen says “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!

Staff Pick: Piranesi by Susanna Clarke – from Cole
-
This week’s staff pick Piranesi is the latest novel from the Hugo award-winning author of Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell Susanna Clarke.
-
Cole calls it “A book unlike anything I`ve ever read. A surreal, dreamy novel where the setting is just as much a character as any other - with equal parts thriller, magic, and a sprinkling of sci-fi. Highly recommend!”
