The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapters 14 & 15

Chapter 14: The Dodecahedron Leads the Way Five miles from Digitopolis, the trio comes across a sign at a three-way fork in the road. Because this is no ordinary book, the sign points them in all three directions and gives them the distance to Digitopolis. The distance is given in miles, rods, yards, feet, inches, and half inches. The Humbug suggests traveling by miles, as it’s shorter, while Milo wants to travel by half-inches. Tock is more concerned about which road to take. I swear, the

The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Unfortunate Conclusions Keeping his mouth shut, Milo goes to meet the crowd of silent people. They ask him about the sound, he writes “It’s on the tip of my tongue” and spits it into the cannon. As the group prepares to fire it, Milo suddenly hopes no one gets hurt. Before he has time to think about that, the sound goes flying into the building and the building crashes down. All of the sounds come out at once, and there was lots of confusion. Milo, Tock, and the Humbug go to con

Chapter 12: The Silent Valley   Milo, Humbug, and Tock drive down the highway. Humbug is humming, Tock is being a dog, Milo is thinking that everything is pleasant. They drive through a heavy stone gateway and suddenly everything is different. It takes a few minutes for them to realize that they had entered into a valley devoid of sound. Milo tries to speak but nothing comes out, the wind isn’t rustling leaves, the Humbug is humming silently. They come across a crowd of people sil

The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapter 11

Chapter 11: Dischord and Dynne Milo wakes up at the prescribed time and chooses not to wake up Chroma for the sunrise. As the musicians have been performing since the dawn of time, he figures they probably know what to do by themselves anyway. A few more excuses and Milo raises his arms up and begins to conduct the symphony. He’s surprised that it goes well, and then decides to stop them and go get Chroma. Unfortunately, they don’t stop, and the sky turns funny colors and he keeps trying

The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapter 10

Chapter 10: A Colorful Symphony The group (Milo, Tock, Humbug, and Alec) run through the forest. The author describes how the sunlight leaps from leaf to leaf, sort of echoing how they are running through the trees. Alec has difficulty, as he is able to see through things and keeps crashing into trees that he’s looking through. Amusing. The humbug asks if they are lost, and Alec says no. They know where they are, they are standing right there. He says some stuff about being lost.

The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapter 9

I found out about this: http://phantomtollboothdoc.vhx.tv/ today! I was looking for Maurice Sendak's "Appreciation," written as a forward in the 50th Anniversary edition of PT. I couldn't find it.  But this documentary exists so    Chapter 9: It’s All in How You Look at Things Milo, Tock, and the Humbug are on a road trip. The drive along and eventually leave open countryside to enter into a forest. I spent most of last night reading terrifying probably-not-mysterious but kind-of

The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapters 7 & 8

Chapter 7: The Royal Banquet The King’s advisory council rushes Milo and Tock to the palace. The palace is very strange (but also amazing) It is engineered to look exactly like a book, standing on end. The front door is in the spine. I would totally want to visit it. Actually, I’m a little disappointed that I dropped architecture of my list of possible careers, way back in 2001. (I can’t math quickly, and I don’t own steel toed boots.) There is a party waiting for Milo and Tock in

The Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapters 5 & 6

Chapter 5: Short Shrift I’ll admit it. I had to look up the definition of “Short Shrift.” 1.       Rapid and unsympathetic dismissal; curt treatment. 1.1. Archaic Little time between condemnation and execution or punishment. Also of interest is the definition of “shrift”                 Archaic 1.       Confession, especially to a priest. 1.1   Absolution by a priest. Anyway, so the marketplace that sells physical words is in shambl

Phantom Tollbooth Reread: Chapters 3-4

Chapter 3: Welcome to Dictionopolis I think I forgot to mention that Tock isn’t just a dog. He’s a watchdog, emphasis on watch. His body is a clock. There are illustrations, which are amusing and cute. As we start chapter three, this watchdog, Tock, apologizes to Milo for being gruff, as it is traditional for watchdogs to be ferocious. Milo holds no grudge and is happy to have left the Doldrums. They discuss the fact that Tock only goes ticktickticktick, and it is just a weird mix

Phantom Tollbooth Reread Chapters 1-2

Phantom Tollbooth Reread   Chapter 1: Milo Milo is a boy who is bored all of the time. There is always something else he’d rather do. He thinks everything is a waste of time, especially school. He always wandered about quickly, despite never wanting to go wherever he is going. In short, Milo, despite being created in 1961, is somehow a perfect character for today’s world. One day, he goes home and looks at all of his stuff. He notices that there is an enormous packag

      Went here tonight for dinner

      They have a kind of Juicy Lucy called the Blucy - which is a type of Juicy Lucy with blu cheese.  When my mom, sister, brother in law, and niece were up last weekend we went to the 42nd street location in Minneapolis.  Tonight I went to the Como Ave location instead.  Yeah, it hit the spot.
