This is a fantastic compilation of The Stone Reader column that is published in the New York Times for the last few years.
I read the columns on occasion and the level of discourse is uneven but when the article is good, it is fantastic.
This compilation is a worthy collection of the varied and disarmingly charming topics that the column had elicited over the years.
It is a book that does not call for being read in one sitting, it is however,a tome to be savored, dissected, and analyzed repeatedly in order to entertain one's mind. A most welcomed series for those time that we need to let our minds reach into the nether reaches of our thoughts and replenish our mental energies while getting away from the daily grind.
It is, a most welcomed respite.
"I write to find out what I think." Joan Didion. "Qu'est ce que je sais"-What do you know? "a fox knows many things, but a hedgehog know one big thing" Archilochus I studied most of my life for credentials, now I study as a Polymath. This blog is my personal ruminations. I invite you along to explore many things. I won't promise that it will all be interesting, but I promise that the thoughts are honest. I realized, relatively late, that life is for the living. So, it was time to live.
