I love to read and write and I am lucky enough to make a living teaching both. I also write, record, and perform music in a few different projects over the years. Can't do audiobooks. Enjoy a good paperback/hardcover.

I do not participate in any other forms of social media. Goodreads is good enough for me.

I also buy and sell classic soul, funk, and early rock 'n' roll vinyl 45s on Discogs (if you're into that sort of thing):

Much love from Iowa to my Goodreads reading family!

Adam and 26 other people liked Diane's review of Blue of Noon:
Blue of Noon by Georges Bataille
"I spent most of this book feeling slightly unclean and intellectually seduced at the same time.

Not aroused exactly — intoxicated.

Bataille writes as if shame were a door worth opening very slowly. Everything in Blue of Noon feels feverish: bodies swea" Read more of this review »

I've always had a soft spot for Frank Castle. As a kid, it was the only "super hero" action figure I had. In this collection by Ennis and company, I liked a lot of what was happening, especially the Vietnam issues, but there was so much of the book w ...more
