I don't pretend to comprehend even a small fraction of this material, but occasionally, I like to step out and read something that really stretches my imagination and my view of the world. Every one of these essays will do that and more. Besides, I can sometimes impress my husband with one of the gems I gleaned from its pages. Great for conversation starters in front of the fire on a winter evening.
