Digging a read

by Anton Zuiker on September 19, 2024

At date-night dinner with Erin, at our favorite local spot Pizzeria Mercato, I told Erin how much I’ve been enjoying reading again. Especially novels.

Today, for example I finished Glorious Exploits by the Irish writer Ferdia Lennon. I loved this story about ancient Greece (Syracuse on Sicily, really) told in a contemporary Irish voice. It was funny, both a tribute to classical poetry and theater but also a rumbling middle finger to war. Also a tall tale that reminds us about the value of friendship.

Now I’m about to dig into the latest book by Michael Ruhlman. It’s a young-adult novel about working in a professional kitchen.
