Apologies for being away. After a hectic few weeks of travel, I'm on the West Coast for a few days. (I was in Washington, DC on Tuesday, though, and saw both Charlie and the rogue genius behind this blog.) Upon returning to my lair in East Tennessee last week, I had a stack of books from amazon.com reaching up to the ceiling. Several of them are sitting next to me at this very moment. Because this blog's readership is a well-read crew, I figured I might share with you the books I ordered. On the day after Thanksgiving, there might be some gift ideas on here. And no, I don't expect to have read all these by the New Year.
