Wandering Rocks 2.0: The Reblooming

Okay, here it is. The plan… I’m driving the bus. And I’m going to be driving it slowly. I will read one page a day, starting on page 219 on June 16th. And after I read that page, I will one-tweet a summary. After that summary, I will–as the mood strikes–tweet a commentary. You will [...]

Dear Wandering Rockers…

Dear Wandering Rockers, I am sorry. I got a job. A real adult-type kinda job. Managing Wandering Rocks in its previous incarnation was untenable.

For your edification, here [...]

ULYSSES pp. 41-51, “Proteus”

By JERRY GRIT No question. This reading, although short, was a slog. But it’s a worthwhile slog. And a slog that will be richly rewarded.  I went through and finished up the chapter, however it may raise an uproar about pacing. Dwelling on this chapter could drive us nuts. I thought it best for our [...]
