Well, It’s a Start: The E-Verse Free Book Program Begins Small
After much planning, the first books in the E-Verse Free Book Program have landed on the shelf at Ants Pants cafe. These meager offerings will grow in time, and the peculiar range of books—Lake Wobegon Days, Absalom, Absalom!, The Exorcist, Washington Square, Tom Jones, and The Manchriant Candidate—show that we’re trying to introduce some variety while keeping standards as high as reasonably possible (some will argue this). So stop by for a patented Bacon Stack and the best coffee in Philadelphia. More books to follow!

On my recent trek through Scotland I found myself seated in the back room of a small pub in the northeastern village of Huntly, in Aberdeenshire. I learned of the latest drink to emerge from the long dark nights of the highland winter. It’s called the Black Sabbath, and it’s very easy to concoct. In fact, it’s so elementary as to almost escape the category of “drink” altogether.
