Timothy rated a book it was amazing Buckeye by Patrick Ryan (Goodreads Author)	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
A classic! The book leads the reader through much of the 20th century, as we follow Becky and Cal, Felix and Margaret and their tangled lives in the small city of Bonhomie. It’s moving in a quiet way.

A collection of articles from Physics Today, some remain excellent but others are dated. First published forty years ago (1985) but some articles are as old as the journal va. 1948!

Poirot and his little gray cells are no match for Miss Marple, who appears in a series of her own and has several clever short stories collected here. Suffice it to say that the pacing is appreciated and the results satisfying!
