Bedside Manner: Let Freedom Ring

My bedside table is a repository for a weird variety of things. Send me your forgotten guides, your talismans, your unread, your read and read-agains; it is a postage-stamp democracy, especially since the head of state here often doesn't get to decide what to read, hence the backlog you see here.

Bedside Manner: San Diego, California

Bedside. San Diego, California—or was this Los Angeles? It could have been Tucson. It’s definitely not Phoenix. In Phoenix, I stayed in a nice hotel with a carpeted floor and a bed so tall, I nearly needed a step stool to get in to it.

Bedside Manner: The Restless Reader

Here's another in a weekly series of what we're reading. More than 20 years ago, I bought a $4.50 paperback copy of Isabel Allende's The House of Spirits at the original Borders Book Shop on State Street in Ann Arbor, Mich., before it went all chain-gang on us. I'm proud to say I knew Borders when it was just a wee little shop.
