		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been reading a terrific book about the Middle Ages, recently, by an American scholar with a great sweeping view of history about the powerful influence of medievalism on the contemporary world.

The blossoms in my front yard are trying, but they are reluctant to invest themselves in this uneven weather. They look like little popcorn kernels ready [...]

Yesterday, I saw someone wading through it on the bus to work; later, someone else reading it in Starbucks. In December, I&#8217;d see several open copies each day on the beach in Cabo San Lucas. World Without End has been out [...]
