Interesting things. Some relate to an interesting person named Athanasius Kircher, or to a book I wrote about him called A Man of Misconceptions. It came out in November of 2012 from Riverhead. Buy it from an independent bookstore. Download it from iTunes, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble. More about me here until I figure out the rest.
