Don’t mind the ‘kaboom’ sound around midday Sunday, Feb. 3, at the River Falls Public Library, 140 Union St. – it’s merely part of the kickoff for the Civil War-themed River Falls Reads program, which this year features Michael Shaara’s “The Killer Angels.”

Book Report: The rise and fall of empires
I met a traveler from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert…Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The long and level sands stretch far away.
—Ozymandias by Percy Shelley
