I leaned forward in eager anticipation, trying not to let my eyes goggle or my mouth hang open. (from page 1) The moment you get your hands on the newest Flavia de Luce, all other reading gets set aside. And yet, it's difficult to pace yourself; you w ...more |

| I think the story of Tarzan is known well-enough that I don't need to summarize the book, but this surprised me at how entertaining it was. A word of warning, however: if you're easily offended by the mores and attitudes of people a hundred years ago ...more | |

| Very interesting look at the role fossils played in and around the ancient Mediterranean (mostly). Mayor explains that it's likely that bones of Protoceratops (a dinosaur similar to Triceratops but smaller and without the horns) from the Gobi Desert ...more | |

There cannot be any ‘story’ without a fall – all stories are ultimately about the fall... The Silmarillion has been a DNF for over 40 years for me. I tried it as a teenager after I discovered The Hobbit and The LOTR, but it felt like reading Genesis. ...more |

| ‘... it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What we ...more | |

| 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 | |

“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.

“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.”

“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.”
