"Little, Big" by John Crowley, a fantasy novel about several generations of a family connected to a hidden world of magic within our world. Could not be less like Harry Potter (even though I'm also a fan of that series). People who apprecia

It's hard for me to imagine writing anything without a word processor. The amount of times I would move entire paragraphs, cut words, and the like in just a standard college paper was unreal. I envy the letter writers of days gone by who wo
