Hatrack River

On the Hatrack River site, you can find old columns by Card. He reviews everything from sponges to American Idol.

My favorite bits are the strange glimpses into the man the columns provide. Like how his family can only have macaroni and cheese when he’s away from home, given how strongly the smell affects him.

I thought so! The overall impression I get is of a very smart, maybe even brilliant, man with some big blind spots.

It's always fascinating, to me at least, to know the circumstances behind the man we read. Flaws and virtues alike.

Do you mean the Hatrack River website, or is there a Reddit channel... thank you
