My wife and I were recently doing a little house cleaning and downsizing. Specifically, we were going through many of our old books. We’ve finally decided that having shelves and shelves of hardbacks and paperbacks and other volumes wasn’t impressing anyone anymore—including ourselves. So, one by one, we are going through them and deciding which to keep and which should go in the library donation box.
As part of that process, I came across a book I decided to re-read. I first read it in 2012 and wrote a column about it back then. And unless some reader has been clipping all my columns for the past decade or more, I doubt if anyone remembers what I wrote back then. So, I’m going to write about it again.
