What a Trip! Philip Caputo’s The Longest Road
August 12th, 2013 · No Comments · Uncategorized
I knew Philip Caputo’s The Longest Road: Overland in Search of America, from Key West to the Arctic Ocean (read by Pete Larkin) would be my kind of “listen.” I love to travel and when I’m stuck at home, I love traveling vicariously through others’ stories and photos.

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.

The Word Smith – Ali Smith and There But For The
July 22nd, 2013 · No Comments · Uncategorized
How to describe Ali Smith’s There But For The? For me, the trick to describing or defining Ali Smith’s writing is simply not to.
