It’s interesting sometimes to reflect on how you end up settling on a particular book: The hazy day in Minnesota that the weather people attributed to western wildfires, including a huge one in Yosemite. The recent return of a colleague from a vacation in Montana—and that reminding me of my own visit there, many years […]

Across the Nightingale Floor

August 7th, 2013 · No Comments · Uncategorized

It’s like Harry Potter, but with ninjas instead of wizards. That’s the best and easiest way I can describe Across the Nightingale Floor.
