The Best of Edward Abbey
This book features selections of Edward Abbeys’ writing chosen by Abbey himself, and it’s an odd mix if you ask me, which you didn’t, yet here we are. To begin with, there are solo chapters from some of his novels, … Continue reading
Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
This is my third LeCarre novel featuring George Smiley but it’s the first where Smiley plays a significant role in the story. There is a Russian mole in the British intelligence service known by those who live in that world … Continue reading
The Good Earth
I thought I had read this ninety year-old classic in high school but either I didn’t or it’s time to talk to my doctor about Prevagen. My son-in-law told me not long ago this was his favorite book of all … Continue reading
Razor Girl

I wrote a brilliant review of this book in my head last night when I was a little bit toasted and trying to go to sleep but now I hardly remember any of it. It’s during these times I wish … Continue reading
Leonardo Da Vinci
Kinda disappointed in this one, I have to say. For me it was a really tough read. More than once I felt like I was slogging through a college textbook. Toward the end I was in full-blown Evelyn Woods mode, … Continue reading
Wolves Eat Dogs
I wasn’t much of a recreational reader for my first 30 years. But I remember the exact moment when that changed. It was in the early 1980’s and I was unemployed and kind of bummed about it. One night I … Continue reading
