Reliving Your Life Over and Over Endlessly
Reddit, or somewhere, told me that I had to read The First 15 Lives of Harry August by Claire North. So I downloaded a copy to my Kindle. And it stayed there for a while. Somewhere along the way, I … Continue reading

A 1904 Odyssey
For over three months now, I’ve been reading Ulysses by James Joyce. I gave it four out of five stars. It could use a good editor. It’s a fascinating book, but there’s just too much of it. The first three … Continue reading
A Goodby That Was Pretty Long
I once found Dashell Hammett’s Maltese Falcon in a used book store for a quarter. It was an old paperback, apparently printed to be distributed to soldiers during World War II. It was a thin book and I read it … Continue reading

Coffee in Your Dreams
One way or another, all coffee is made with a strainer. I recall my parent’s percolator. It’s still sitting on top of my refrigerator. It’s a white Corningware pitcher with blue flowers painted on it, and insides made out of … Continue reading
Cowboy Books
I was at my brothers one day, and his TV was on as always. It was John Wayne’s next-to-last movie ( I think) The Cowboys. There was the movie back in the 70s, and a brief TV show. Some of … Continue reading
Lincoln vs The Bardo
Fancy, award-winning books can be very hit-or-miss. Sometimes they win the award for the wrong thing, like because the story is timely or the storytelling is stylized. Sometimes a book wins an award because another one didn’t, and somebody thought … Continue reading
