I’m going to share my thoughts about some of the books I’ve read recently, though I should be preparing the syllabus for my summer class that starts next week. I hope you will forgive me for at lest one of these things. These reviews are for novels, novellas, and short-story collections that particularly struck me in my sabbatical reading, and so I highly recommend all of them (the order below is pretty random). Perhaps in another post I’ll share some of my recommendations from the tons of graphic novels I’ve also been reading, if anyone’s interested. Given my devotion to the miniature, be not surprised at the lengths of these reviews.

Posted on 15 June 2015 by Robert

Here I am again, trying out something different–a monthly magpie post. Above is a video of an Australian magpie (Sqwark) and a pup (Whiskey) playing in the yard. Irredeemably cute. Many thanks to Laura, who recently re-linked to this video on Facebook and reminded me of it.

"How should we be able to forget those ancient myths that are at the beginning of all peoples, the myths about dragons that at the last moment turn into princesses; perhaps all the dragons of our lives are princesses who are only waiting to see us once beautiful and brave. Perhaps everything terrible is in its deepest being something helpless that wants help from us.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke, Letters to a Young Poet, trans. M.D. Herter Norton
