Other ships may be mentioned, but in respect of the spirit of the event, do not forget that Rook and Solas must be central to your work.

DRAGON AGE: THE VEILGUARD (2024)

[delightfully-difficult-pirate]

Friends, I’m going to express myself today in a way I’m not particularly comfortable doing. I hope you’ll forgive me. Ever since I was a teenager I’ve been fascinated by the bestseller list of The New York Times Sunday book review, especially nonfiction. I wondered how certain books and their topics got to be high on the list. I was particularly interested in the books that got to be 1 bestsellers. I thought that their authors and ideas provided tiny windows into the American mind at those particular moments in time. For the last 43 years, I’ve also felt a personal stake. My first book was published in 1982. It didn’t make anywhere near the bestseller list. One day I was at a friend’s house and noticed it on a bookshelf in his living room. I told him how flattered I was that he had bought it. He looked a bit sheepish and suggested I pull the book out and look inside. When I opened the cover, I found that the entire inside had been hollowed out. It had been sold to him for safe-keeping. It was where he stored valuable jewelry from his grandmother. He assumed no one would ever find it because no one would ever pull out my book. Years went by, and I wrote 17 more books. I wrote them as well as I could, but to be perfectly candid with you, I don’t think readers found them especially exciting. They were about economics, politics, and philosophy. As I recall, only one made the Times bestseller list, and it was 6 for about a minute. I’ve contented myself with the thought that my books have contributed to public understanding, notwithstanding. I used to joke that my books were the kind that once you put them down, you couldn’t pick them up. So when a friend phoned recently to tell me that my new book, Coming Up Short: A Memoir of My America, was 1 on the Times nonfiction bestseller list (it’s actually right there at the top in this Sunday’s print edition!) I couldn’t believe it. Being the sentimental slob I am, my eyes welled up. It’s been a lifetime dream, yet I’ve been worried about sharing the news. Bragging about a personal achievement seems so, well, Trumpian. Yet here I am sharing the news with you. Somehow I thought you’d want to know.
