In absentia…
I haven’t had much to say for the past few days, in part because I’m trying to focus all my writing energies on my dissertation (which has been growing steadily at the rate of about 1200 words per day, if you’ve been following the little tally to the right). Looks like I’ll be heading to Philadelphia tomorrow for two nights, to stretch my legs and hopefully go trick-or-treating with Jenny’s nephew (he keeps saying he doesn’t want to dress up in a costume, but I’ll believe it when I see it).
Good news is that I got two books in the mail today, one which I’m reviewing for Publisher’s weekly on the “discovery of the brain”, and the other for the 3rd Virtual Book Tour, in which I’ll be participating sometime in the next few weeks. As a preliminary plug, the book is Urban Tribes by Ethan Waters, and it looks like it’ll be a good read. I’ll be cooking up ideas for how to feature the book during the tour, which should be somewhere in mid-November.
