My Name Is Red, by Orhan Pamuk
2008-08-17: I spent the day traveling from Boston to St. Louis via Chicago. I didn’t mind, because I’m reading My Name Is Red, by Orhan Pamuk.
Orhan Pamuk is a Turkish writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2006. This is a brilliant novel.
Running in St. Louis County
2008-08-18: I ran three dangerous miles before sunrise in West St. Louis County, where the rich can’t afford sidewalks or even shoulders on the roads.
I don’t understand why the wealthy suburbs of St. Louis can’t afford infrastructure for pedestrians.
