Video reviews
I have recently begun making reviews and short videos about the vintage paperbacks I've been reading. I discuss the book, read a tidbit, and go in depth about the author, illustrator, genre, or publisher.
If you're interested, you can find them at Paperbacks That Time Forgot.

| Much more charming than I remember it being when I tried to read this 20-some years ago, but there were still some tedious spots. The best parts were Bilbo's conversations with Gollum and Smaug, of course. ...more | |

The first MacDonald book I've read that kind of disappointed me. This is the author's second novel, so maybe some of the clunkiness I detected was just him getting his sea-legs. The prose is lovely and precise, but the plot and characters are somehow ...more |

"I really didn't understand what the author's point was in this story. I realised that the characters at the beginning are the descendants of a long discarded genetic experiment to settle humans on Mars. But everything seems so random.

Probably as close to lit-fic as I've ever read in a Gold Medal. Dave Chapman is back in Shanghai. He was there at the end of WWII and is back again, just before the Communists take over. He's been hired by a shadowy company to find a geologist who had ...more |

“Ma and God
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your fork."
God gave us voices--Ma says, "Don't scream."
Ma says eat broccoli, cereal and carrots.
But God gave us tasteys for maple ice cream.
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your hanky."
God gave us puddles--Ma says, "Don't splash."
Ma says, "Be quiet, your father is sleeping."
But God gave us garbage can covers to crash.
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Put your gloves on."
God gave us raindrops--Ma says, "Don't get wet."
Ma says be careful, and don't get too near to
Thoses strange lovely dogs that God gave us to pet.
God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Go wash 'em."
But God gave us coal bins and nice dirty bodies.
And I ain't too smart, but there's one thing for certain--
Either Ma's wrong or else God is.”
