Subtitle “An American Ronin’s Journey to Faith, Family, and Freedom”.
He’s rocking a lot of jewelry for a humble servant of the Tea-People. I mean, he’s wearing two watches and two wedding rings. WTF! Maybe he married his right hand during those long, lonely years as a Ronin apprentice (the extra watch was a wedding gift to himself).

Eleanor Catton made Man Booker prize history twice on Tuesday night the youngest winner for, at 832 pages, the longest novel.
It’s Banned Books Weeks again, the saddest time of year when the American Library Association helps us celebrate literacy’s fight against the censorious white people who make it their business to make sure all the rest of us are protected from BAD BOOKS. Not badly-written books, of course — those are doing just fine. I’m referring to the books that make some people nervous, like those that might include a bad word or a reference to “sex.” Not infrequently, the list includes some really good books, like The Grapes of Wrath (burned in East St. Louis, and banned many other places) or Slaughterhouse-Five ( burned in North Dakota and banned in 2011 from a high school in Missouri), Of Mice and Men, Catcher in the Rye, Harry Potter, the list goes on and on, and there really is no rhyme or reason so don’t try to find one.
