"It was the setting and premise of this novel I found of interest: a look at the life and work of a German psychoanalyst in the years leading up to, during and after WW II. Even though the main character is a non-Jew, the effects of Hitler’s rise to p" Read more of this review »

A mystery-police procedural that has an interesting plot, but the protagonist is a damaged, unpleasant person, and his stupid and tragic collapse dominates the story. (view spoiler) ...more
Germantown by Michael C. Harris
"A very fine history about the battle of Germantown, a nice follow-up to Harris' exceptional "Brandywine". Excellently researched, filled with great detail, yet easy to read, I'm sure it will be considered the premier history of the battle. I look for" Read more of this review »
For Love of the Game by Michael Shaara
"I read this book because I love baseball and Sharra's "Killer Angels" is my favorite Civil War novel (I have never seen the Costner movie based upon it). I was a bit disappointed in this book though, maybe I was expecting too much. It's not really mu" Read more of this review »
A Plagued Sea by Kim Bo-young
"I was really glad to come across this book. I have read all of HP Lovecraft's stories many times, he is a favorite of mine, and "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" is one of his best. This modern retelling is very well done and even includes a character or t" Read more of this review »

Sadly, books like this aren’t published much anymore [1 point for the correct use of anymore]. It’s too easy to go to Wikipedia, IMDb.com, or to ask your A.I. to summarize something about Clark Gable. But this book is the extraordinary work of one ma ...more

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“What wisdom can you find greater than kindness.”
Jean Jacques Rousseau

“In this world, you must be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant. Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant.”
Elwood P. Dowd

James Baldwin
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.”
James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time

Viktor E. Frankl
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms -- to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.”
Viktor E. Frankl
