It's been a long time since I've started a book after dinnertime and stayed up until the wee hours to finish it, but I did with this one. Un-put-downable, indeed. The story begins with an unemployed graphic designer living in San Francisco who is draw...more |

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
