| Description: | The Clever Title devours books like a malnourished medieval beast. The Clever Title is not concerned with craft or criticism. It cares not about literary elitism or academic jargon. The Clever Title reads because it knows there are mysteries of the underworld left to discover. The Clever Title loves the written word the way children love their ragged blankies. The Clever Title relishes those moments cuddled on the couch, sitting under the oak on campus, sipping a cappuccino in a cafe, the bent spine of a book in hand. The Clever Title reads to understand and discover humanity, the self, the natural world, and the mysteries that lie beneath the couch cushions. |

Sailing for Dummies
When I was younger, my father, one crisp fall morning, left for work as a tire salesman with no apparent hobbies, and then, that same day, returned from work completely obsessed with the sport of sailing. He told me he’d come into contact with a man who was going to sell him his 27-foot Hunter at an “un

Who Let the Dogs Out!
When my wife isn’t home, when she’s teaching all those classes, I read to our dogs. I don’t know why I don’t tell her this. I don’t know why I keep it a secret. (It ain’t a secret anymore!) I know, however, that some books need an audience, deserve an audience, even if that audience is of
