| The various film versions of a "A Christmas Carol" are among my all-time favorite movies, particularly the 1970 musical. For years, I've been meaning to read Dickens's novella, arguably among the most socially influential stories ever written, to see ...more | |

| I read just two juvenile series when I was a kid: the Hardys and the Three Investigators. I figured all the rest were poor knock-offs so never bothered to try them. Over the past few years, I've tried several others and have been pleasantly surprised ...more | |

| All I can say is: I wish I'd started reading these books much earlier. And I wish I'd bought a few for my dad--he would've loved them. Well, I can also say that the Bathroom Readers' Institute never lets the facts get in the way of telling a good sto ...more | |

| A few months ago, I rewatched "Escape from Alcatraz" for perhaps the 3rd or 4th time. This time around, it got me wondering what the real story was, so I thought I'd give this a read. Here's a so-so book that, with a half-decent editor, could've been ...more | |
