There's always something

I was feeling a bit sad about the Charles Dickens bicentennial and the Gene Kelly centennial drawing to a close. They've made this year so much fun.

Then I was reminded that 2013 marks the 50th anniversary of C. S. Lewis's death.

So there's that.

On a happier note*, though, [livejournal.com profile] ibmiller reminds me that it will also mark the bicentennial of Pride and Prejudice

*Not saying that it wasn't a happy occasion for Lewis -- the Lewis Institute calls it "his passing from death to life," and I'm sure he saw it the same way himself! But it makes for kind of a different celebration . . .
