What to Read:


I recently finished Ada Louise Huxtable's biography of Frank Lloyd Wright, a concise and compelling overview of the “greatest Architect of all time”.

Tom Wolfe’s “I Am Charlotte Simons”
While Tom can be a might turgid at times, I still savor his turns-of-phrases, bon mots and outragous-ness.
