Good Things

I've started reading William Greider's latest book. After reading a bit, I have a feeling I'll disagree with a lot of it, even though I'd suspect Greider and I are fellow travelers in a lot of ways. In any case, it's shaping up to be a provocative book.


Middlemarch. Best Book Ever.

Still Life, the beginning of a now four-book series by A.S. Byatt. The fourth was forgettable, but the the first three deserve a look. Occasionally works of fiction manage to enhance and modify your views, these books did that for me.
