The Book Review must have had slim pickings this year for their ten best list. I wasn’t thrilled by last year’s list either, but at least they put The Lay of the Land by Richard Ford and The Omnivore’s Dilemma by Michael Pollan on it.
This year, they missed Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policeman’s Union, but I feel for them. It was a lackluster year for publishing. I bought very few books in hardcover this year because there was nothing to get excited about, it seemed.
I'm a columnist and blogger for Military Spouse magazine. I'm a Navy husband, a dad, and an aspiring novelist.
This is my personal blog. If it sounds too quiet around here, it's probably because I have no energy for writing because I'm engaged in that all-consuming endeavor called Parenting. I'll post when I have something to say, or when I find a stray bit of creative energy, or when Sean heads off to school.
If you have a question about being a male military spouse or about my writing, you can post it here or e-mail me.
