My thirteen-year-old son is standing on the concrete behind me. The man says, &#8220;Where did you drive in from?:Whenever someone is speaking to me in a language that [...]]]></description>

But you see me. In this terrible chair. They make me sit on this in the shower. They won&#8217;t let me stand. They took away my last pleasure, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New York Magazine recently asked 60 literary critics to name one novel of the last decade that they thought was important, but overlooked and forgotten.  It is a compelling list. There are so many great writers and little time to read them. I felt overwhelmed after reading the list and a memory came to [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a small grocery store and diner called &#8220;Fraternity Village&#8221; in Searsmont, Maine. I sat down at a table at the open front window and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I liked what Alan Kaufman, Neil Ortenberg, and Barney Rosset did as editors of &#8220;The Outlaw Bible of American Poetry&#8220;. It&#8217;s still in print and selling well. It&#8217;s a good read and when it isn&#8217;t: the weaker stuff is easy to step over. Look, there&#8217;s another poem waiting right there. Thick as a phone directory, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Kurt Vonnegut is no longer stuck in time. I first heard of Vonnegut when he was protesting a war. He was described in a newspaper article as a fiction writer who had been a prisoner of the Germans in World War II. He had my attention.
I read everything he wrote. It was hard not to. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why would anyone want to list their personal library in public?
That was my question when I heard about Tim Spalding and his LibraryThing site last year. It makes sense if you are a rare book seller and want people to know what you have, but why would others take the time?

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy reading criticism and review, but I don&#8217;t write it.
I am also a baseball fan. Statistics bore me and I don&#8217;t have room for the hiring/firing/trading drama that follows star players, but I love driving down to see the regional farm team. If I&#8217;m lucky, I will get lost in the game and feel [...]]]></description>
