Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats by T.S. Eliot, 5/5

These poems are utterly charming, sophisticatedly silly, and exquisitely illustrated by the inimitable Edward Gorey. I read the entire collection in one go and found myself practically tapping my toe to the flawless rhythms, which beg to be read aloud.

Why I read it: a thrift store find.
