on books

Here's a link to an article about one of my favorite authors: "In Praise of Samuel R. Delany"

I've read his books Dhalgren and Stars in My Pockets Like Grains of Sand a couple of times now.

And, here's a very good book that I just finished: Eastward to Tartary: Travels in the Balkans, the Middle East, and the Caucasus by Robert D. Kaplan, first published in November, 2000. More info here: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/33687.Eastward_to_Tartary
