A few years later someone handed me Luis Rodriguez’, Always Running, a book set in and around the San Gabriel Valley. Reading about neighborhoods close to mine, for the first time, was exciting. It left a strong imprint.

I recently read Uncommon Grounds: The History of Coffee and How it Transformed Our World by Mark Pendergrast.  Ambitious in scope, the book notes fascinating moments in coffee's European history, where its deliverance was both celebrated and scorned. https://t.co/wrQVssbfH2
