| Likely the worst book I'll read all year and probably for years to come. Certainly some of the least likable characters I've encountered in a very long time. I'm not even sure why I kept reading this drivel - which is not really about volcanoes but m ...more | |

|
| This was ostensibly a history of the the end of WWII in the Pacific, from October 1944 to August 1945. However, it's actually narrower than that, focusing almost exclusively on the US Navy and more closely on the actions of the Navy pilots (the book' ...more | |

Ghosts of the Tsunami: Death and Life in Japan’s Disaster Zone
by Richard Lloyd Parry (Goodreads Author) |
|
| I was expecting more of a science-oriented book about the 2011 Japanese Tsunami following an offshore 9.0 earthquake, but got a very heart-breaking human story. The book focuses on Okawa Elementary School where 74 of 108 students died - mostly due to ...more | |

| My son gave me this book for Christmas - he's just finishing up a Master's degree in architecture, so we often talk about such things. And while you could be forgiven for looking at the lengthy title of this one and dismissing it as uninteresting, I ...more | |

| I'm too lazy today to try for a summary of the book (or even try to write a decent review, apparently). Suffice it to say that I was very pleasantly surprised by the ending. I hadn't really begun enjoying the book until around the midpoint - I'm not ...more | |

| I've read a few books about John Adams. I read David McCullough's excellent and lengthy tome. I read Joseph Ellis' study of his character as well as his book about his marriage. Plus, Adams comes up extensively in anything about George Washington, Be ...more | |

| I remember "The Waltons" on television when I was a kid, but I'm not sure I ever watched much of it (it was more like the kind of show my grandma would watch). I was always resentful of the "Good night, John-boy" line at the end (if your name was Joh ...more | |
“Jack watched him drive away. He shook his head. The old woman might be weird, maybe even crazy, but there was no such thing as a witch. *”

“She stared at him with those hard black eyes. But it wasn’t her eyes this time that caught his attention.
It was the sharp point of her spear, only inches away from his chest.
It was the last thing he would ever see.”

“His mom always joked that he spent so much time at the beach that he had saltwater running through his veins and never completely got the sand out from between his toes. In Jack’s mind, he wouldn’t have it any other way.”

“I am skeptical about the idea that we can learn much from history, at least in the sense that knowledge of past follies will prevent us from making similar blunders in the future... And yet it is important to know what happened before, and to try and make sense of it. For if we don't, we cannot understand our own times.”

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”

“In classical physics, science started from the belief – or should one say, from the illusion? – that we could describe the world, or least parts of the world, without any reference to ourselves.”

“People make mistakes in life through believing too much, but they have a damned dull time if they believe too little.”
