Love “The Stack”. Good stuff, all. And the new blog looks fab-u, too!

Yes yes yes to The Stack. A fine beginning to the year. Like the new digs!

Did you love the Calvino? That book has one of my favorite opening chapters, ever!

@Michele

I’d read it before, years ago, and I read it this time for a class I was in. The first chapter is great, and I think the book is an incredible piece of art, but I didn’t enjoy reading it much this time around. Perhaps the shifting from one story to the next was simply too much for me. I actually thought that YOU was a better execution of a similar idea. That’s not to belittle the Calvino.
