Twisted Travel. Think I’d be lost if I use the book as a guide. Unusual but very interesting.
Something is different though with the way you write now. You sound humane – though you read good, it seems not right. I miss the edginess of your writings in Today.

Was reading Proulx (Accordion Crimes) when my attention wandered. So then I picked up Sedaris’ When You Are Engulfed in Flames. I was not this distracted with Proulx’s The Shipping News.

The essays in that book were first published in the Today column, and it’s “though your writing reads well”.

Because we want to stay under your good graces, me and my bro are buying the book that you just finished: Drunkard’s Walk- How Randomness Rules our Lives by L. Mlodinow.
Seriously, I think reading about the statistical probabilities of things happening in one’s life will be very absorbing for us.
Plus, my bro is reading this franchise book: The American Presidents:Bios of the Chief Executives by David C. Whitney.
