What do a Disney movie, a fascist Belgian newspaper, and The Great Gatsby have in common?
Take your guess and keep reading to find out! Hint: it’s not thinly veiled social commentary. Though that might be true as well.

In which I outline the origin and reason (madness?) behind the way I read books.
A little less than two years ago, I was reading Jayber Crow by Wendell Berry. The book follows the life of a barber living in a tiny Kentucky town. Since the book is the tale of someone’s entire life, it’s long. 363 pages long. Not only is it long, it’s also dense, full of stories and people and long internal monologues that will make you cry and laugh and want to become a farmer.
