Upcoming travel programs: Peru & Oaxaca
Peru: Ancient Cultures, Natural Wonders. April 8-19, 2026.

It’s going to be an amazing, once-

| Another work of scifi genius from Tchaikovsky. You might find yourself feeling claustrophobic for most of this book, riding along as you will be with two characters in a small metal pod trying desperately to save their own lives by traversing a compl ...more | |

| I loved this book, and not only because the climate fiction/post-apocalyptic storyline made me feel that my own novel The Afterlife Project is in good company! McEwan is one of my favorite writers, and as I was reading this I was trying to figure out ...more | |

| One of my favorite scifi books ever. The title novella is well worth the price of admission, and I loved just about all the stories too. And the audio narrator is fabulous. If you've got a long car ride or some wood to stack, this is a great choice f ...more | |

“Read good writing, and don’t live in the present. Live in the deep past, with the language of the Koran or the Mabinogion or Mother Goose or Dickens or Dickinson or Baldwin or whatever speaks to you deeply. Literature is not high school and it’s not actually necessary to know what everyone around you is wearing, in terms of style, and being influenced by people who are being published in this very moment is going to make you look just like them, which is probably not a good long-term goal for being yourself or making a meaningful contribution. At any point in history there is a great tide of writers of similar tone, they wash in, they wash out, the strange starfish stay behind, and the conches.”

“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you: the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”

“After nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories are the thing we need most in the world.”

“It’s hard to stay away from religion when you mess with acid.”

“Sit in a room and read--and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”
