Topic “books”

Finding George Orwell in Columbia Heights

My house has a radio in the shower, permanently tuned to National Public Radio, so most days begin with a splash of news. Saturdays, however, start with Car Talk, and today's episode began with the bold and not-car-related proclamation that Americans lifespans are shortened by the fact that we don't linger in coffee shops. By this crude and uninformed measure, I am likely destined for immortality; for the past six months, I have drifted in and out of neighborhood coffee houses with absurd regularity, often occupying a table for an entire day.

Topic Launch: My Life (and the approximately 29 books that best chronicle it)

Part 3 of 6 in a series discussing the 6 broad "topics" that I've incorporated into the latest design of my site. In this post I will give a quick update on my life right now, because that's what the "My Life" category is all about. No further explanation needed.

 Wish ChipIn.com had a way to tally offline payments. My Scrub fund ( http://bit.ly/aItR3p ) would be at 35% instead of 8%, thx to IRL gifts.
