Books you wouldn't think I'd love
Back in my old life there were years in which I'd read 75 books. And like a dork, I kept a list of them all. I still keep the list, more out of habit than anything else, but the numbers are considerably less impressive. Looking at it recently, I was surprised at the books that struck the deepest chords.

Magnuson shares "The Falls" with OnMilwaukee readers
Mike Magnuson is a writer who teaches at Southern Illinois University. He’s a Milwaukee-area guy, too. So, when we thought it was time to break into the world of fiction, we thought of Mag. He’s got a great sense of humor, he’s self-effacing and he loves Milwaukee.
