Celebrate Russell Kirk's birthday (today) with a rich dessert, a ghostly tale, and a contribution to The University Bookman:
I can't praise @ubookman highly enough. If it's not a part of your reading life, it should be.
Should you have the ability, they are very much deserving of your support. I hope you'll consider donating to their Kirktober fundraiser, as I have done.
