Teacher, educate thyself

Whenever I'm in France, I undertake Attempts To Educate Myself, because the selection of English books available to me runs heavily towards the classics. I don't know if my vague memories are of the book or the film, but if I've read the book (or had it read to me) it was years ago. I am happy to say that I quite enjoyed Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass when I read them last weekend, because it was just the amount of whimsy and ridiculousness that appeals to me.

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less."
- Through the Looking Glass

Exactly, Humpty. Je suis complètement d'accord.
