Book Review ‘Saint Mazie’ by Jami Attenberg
Granted, Mazie Phillips is not an ordinary saint; she drinks too much, swears, and has numerous careless sexual relations, but her imperfections allow her to set aside judgement and simply help those who need it most.
Believe it or not, Mazie Phillips is only a slightly fictionalized character based upon the real-life, Mazie Phillips. In this, why didn’t I think of that novel, Jami Attenberg does a beautiful job of researching and arriving at a conjecture that ultimately translates into a real...

THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN by Paula Hawkins
Personally, I love this book. The suspense is spellbinding, but it is the magnificently synthesized psychological dysfunction of the cast that is oddly addictive. I am not too embarrassed to admit that over the summer I listened to the complete audio version three times. And, for those of you still wondering; it is more thrilling than Gone Girl.

Encephalitis and the Illusion of Time on HautLife
More than a year ago, a microscopic virus stored in my mother’s body escaped whatever it was that had kept it encapsulated. Adding to the magnitude of the moment, the doctor explained that the virus’ escape was more unlikely than winning the lottery.

BOOK REVIEW: CONDOMINIUM by John D. MacDonald With Intro by Dean Koontz
Many of today’s best-selling authors boast of his influence on their career. Dean Koontz has often referred to him with remarkable admiration and praise. Demonstrating this is the lovely tribute he wrote about the author in the foreword of the paperback edition of Condominium.

Probably no one would question his true feelings until he did the introduction on the audio ver...

BOOK REVIEW: THE STRANGER by Harlan Coben, narrated by George Newbern with Author [Video]
Harlan CobenFathom an act of deceit committed by an insecure wife, a lie so personal it should matter to no one except the woman and her husband. Nevertheless, two years after the incident it shatters the cozy life they've created and it doesn't stop with them.
Despite an often annoying amount of petty details, THE STRANGER is engrossing and engaging. The premise exposes another possible concern about individual privacy on the web when a quasi group of self-professed vigilantes naively&nb...
