I've been away from the blog over the weekend, while on a trip to Denver. I've been reading "In the Garden of Beasts" by Erik Larson who is best-known for "Devil in the White City." Nothing like a cross-country flight to tackle a good book. Few distractions -- except for bulky seat-mates pushing your arm off the armrest, and wailing babies. But you can take a break for a tiny bag of peanuts or a 100-calorie bag of crackers -- only takes a minute or two.
Dave Rosenthal came to The Baltimore Sun as a business reporter in 1987 and now is the Maryland Editor. He reads a wide range of books (but never as many as he'd like), usually alternating between non-fiction and fiction. Some all-time favorites: A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole; Wind, Sand and Stars by Antoine de Saint-Exupery; and anything by Calvin Trillin or John McPhee. He belongs to a book club with a Jewish theme.
