It’s that time again! I just applied to be a World Book Night Book Giver!
I can’t decide which of my three choices I’d love to give away to non-readers more… Good Omens by Neil I-want-to-eat-his-brain Gaiman and the hilarious Terry Pratchett, Fahrenheit 451 by my actual hero Ray Bradbury or A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court by THE AMAZING MARK TWAIN.
I will not be disappointed either way. Are you signing up to be a book giver? Take a peak and see what it’s all about at www.worldbooknight.org.

This is the best thing ever!

“The things that you do should be things that you love and things that you love should be things that you do.”

Amen, Ray… Amen.

When I was young, Bradbury was my man. I followed him to Mars, to the veldt, to the future, to the past, to the heart of America, I rode out with him on the Pequod, and on rockets. He was the first of my literary obsessions, but he set the terms of what I talked about when I talked about loving an author.
