Reading recommendation to usher in the Year of the Rabbit: John Updike's Rabbit tetralogy: "Rabbit, Run, " "Rabbit Redux," Rabbit is Rich" and "Rabbit at Rest."
But seriously, folks (not that we weren't serious about the Updike novels--or the Beatrix Potter) if you are seeking a Chinese novel to enjoy with a cup of smoky oolong, you might seek out "The Dream of the Red Chamber" (or "Hung Lou Meng") written in the mid-eighteenth century by Tsao Hsueh Chin. This is not a minimalist work--you may require a pot of oolong.
Pointless Digressions is the on-line extension of a radio series commissioned sometime
in the last century by the Vancouver radio station AM-1040 (now Team 1040, an all-sports broadcaster). The mini-programs were written and voiced by Lyndon Grove, whose ambition, he said, was "to digress my way through life."
Grove describes himself as "a media Gypsy," having spent vast amounts of time in radio,
television, newspapers, magazines, advertising, public relations, film and live performance.
Pointless Digressions is his self-help therapy project.
For detailed biography, send self-addressed stamped envelope stuffed with wads of cash.
