Real score: 80. From: The circus arrives without warning. To: The circus arrives without warning. There is so much that’s cyclical about this book. Friedrich Thiessen tells us that the origin of the word circus is “kirkos meaning circle or ring”. I’m personally cycling back and instantly adding it back to my to read list. Also, when I head to the fabric store later, I will be buying red yarn to make a red scarf because I am undoubtedly now a Rêveur. Read this book: it is magical. That goes without saying in terms of its essence, but it is that and more. I read in a combination of real pages in my hands and the words in my ears, and that too was magical.
