"My task, which I am trying to achieve is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel--it is, before all, to make you see. That--and no more, and it is everything."
--Joseph Conrad

requires that I inform you, dear reader, that as an author and blogger I occasionally receive books from publishers, other authors, and PR firms for review. These are added to the already tall stacks in my office and on my Kindle. You can be too rich, my friends. You can be too thin. And you can have too much horseradish. But you can never have too many books.
