I cannot recommend the book, “The Drunkard’s Walk” highly enough. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Here is an interview with the Wall St. Journal, with the author, Dr. Leonard Mlodinow.
Read the book!
[reading part of his newest novel at a press conference] “The crickets and the rust-beetles scuttled among the nettles of the sage thicket. “Vámonos, amigos,” he whispered, and threw the busted leather flintcraw over the loose weave of the saddlecock. And they rode on in the friscalating dusklight.”
I’m still lucky enough to get movie previews from my old celebrity writing days and I got to take my son Gibson to a preview of WALL-E and cannot begin to describe what a wonderful and thoughtful film it is. It’s technology, love story and even “Hello Dolly” all rolled into one and it truly makes one more contemplative in regard to the future.
WALL-E is so filled with courage and you can’t but love him. My son laughed, cried and cheered for the little robot and his quest for EVE. (It’s always an Eve.:>)
