Dear Reader, Did anyone see the lunar eclipse? We were skunked here by clouds and rain showers. I made a desperate dash for the porch at 5:30 AM in hopes of sufficient clearing, but nope. How about this capture from Gifu in Japan! This week and next week, the Chariot assumes sleigh-like features in hopes of assisting you with your shopping for the festive season. I have compiled suggestions from a range of readers whom I admire. My charge to them was to share a book they truly love, without restriction to genre, topic, or vintage. We’re doing non-fiction this week, to be followed by fiction and poetry next week.
