So...what's the point of this one? I was expecting something delicious and instead got a rambling book with little point except a stated intent to shock or astonish. If the book is talking about the demise of manners, as the title seems to imply, it w ...more |

Not Field and Stream This is one of those gems that I had to suffer through in high school. It was a short read but a depressing one, though beautifully, movingly written. If the school system in their wisdom had decided to make us hormonal, easily up ...more |

A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW This book sounded interesting, the samples online flowed very well, and I thought it would be worth reading and, to enhance the experience, to read in a ‘hard copy’ rather than an electronic one. (I am one of those criminals who ...more |

“There were monsters abroad, there was no denying it - but what of the thousands of people in Thebes and in the rest of Egypt who had not robbed tombs?
The tally of those who had not bowed to greed far outweighed that of those who had. It was easy to forget that fact amid the horror of the acts of the guilty. Wenatef had lost sight it for a time, but now it was as though he were surrounded by a great, silent multitude: the honorable and faithful ones who had not done wrong.”

“We dream sometimes of what we most fear," he said, his hand seeking and closing about the Eye of Horus amulet that hung at his breast. "But you must know that Horus does not challenge Set because he is assured of victory, but because it's the right thing to do. He fights because it is wrong to hold back for fear of the cost. If he knew at this moment that he might fall through treachery, he would face Set nevertheless for the sake of honor and of justice.”
