Member Since
May 2010


J. S. Green grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah with his nose in a book. In the back of his childhood mind, he always imagined himself growing up to be a writer - either that or playing baseball or beach volleyball. (Unfortunately, he never had much talent for sports and didn't live near the beach.) Instead, he earned an MBA, spent some time living in Brazil, and once kept a large collection of carnivorous plants. But several years ago he finally started writing, and Lost in the Shadows is his first novel and reflects his love of ghost stories.

He now lives in Los Angeles, California where he likes nothing more than to spend time at the beach with his family and a good book.

Engineers of Victory by Paul M. Kennedy

This wasn't quite what I expected. I thought it was about the various "inventions" that helped the Allies turn the tide against the Axis in WWII, stuff like the P-51 Mustang, the B-29 bomber, or the temporary harbors that helped get supplies onshore. ...more

This book is NOT non-fiction. It is FICTION, or perhaps historical fiction. (Pre-historical fiction maybe?) I wish I had realized that before I requested it from NetGalley (which classifies it as nonfiction). Black has chosen to tell a highly imagina ...more

I believe no book has been on my Want To Read shelf longer than this one – over 14 years. If I remember correctly, I tried to read it back then but found it hard to follow, and put it back on the list in the hopes of trying again. And when I started ...more

Walden by Henry David Thoreau

I've tried reading Walden several times. I mean, who didn't want to read it after watching "Dead Poet's Society." And I've always enjoyed nature writing. But I always get hung up on the parts where he's talking about ants or the price of nails. But I ...more

“disturbed that something had been stolen from it.  He held his hand out and let the small bone drop back into the pool. ”
J.S. Green, Lost in the Shadows

“She stared at him with those hard black eyes. But it wasn’t her eyes this time that caught his attention.
It was the sharp point of her spear, only inches away from his chest.
It was the last thing he would ever see.”
J.S. Green, Lost in the Shadows

“A few kids were trying to surf without much luck, but this wasn’t a good surfing spot. Jack watched as the wanna-be surfers struggled to stay on their boards. He guessed they were kids from out of town with rented surfboards staying at a beach house. The water looked cold, and they weren’t even wearing wetsuits. Maybe they were from someplace that had been buried in snow all winter and they thought this was warm.”
J.S. Green, Lost in the Shadows

“People, I just want to say, can't we all get along? Can't we all get along?”
Rodney King

“I am skeptical about the idea that we can learn much from history, at least in the sense that knowledge of past follies will prevent us from making similar blunders in the future... And yet it is important to know what happened before, and to try and make sense of it. For if we don't, we cannot understand our own times.”
Ian Buruma

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.”
Henry James

“In classical physics, science started from the belief – or should one say, from the illusion? – that we could describe the world, or least parts of the world, without any reference to ourselves.”
Werner Heisenberg

“People make mistakes in life through believing too much, but they have a damned dull time if they believe too little.”
James Hilton, Lost Horizon
