Lisa Denton and Barry CourterBarry, did you know that, today at least, we can claim this column is a public service?
That’s because today is National Read Across America Day, honoring the birthday of Dr. Seuss, who once said: “Nonsense wakes up the brain cells.”
And if our weekly scribbles don’t qualify as nonsense, I don’t know what does. Not the brilliant nonsense of the beloved children’s book author, but nonsense nonetheless.
To celebrate the day, you can attend Dr. Seuss storytime Wednesday morning at Barnes & Noble or the Dr. Seuss birthday party with celebrity readers Saturday at Center Stage at Hamilton Place.
BARRY COURTER: I would not, could not call our prose, which can curl the nose, nonsense.
