A Light in the Attic. Jul 24th, 2014 07:23 pm. My wife and I have been reading Shel Silversteins A Light in the Attic. As a bedtime ritual; a light verse to end the day on. I wasnt raised on Silverstein, so this is actually the first volume of his Ive ever gone through. My favorite is probably The Dragon of Grindly Grun, but Ill admit that I found these poems more cute than memorable. Perhaps because I wasnt raised on them. Jun 24th, 2014 10:54 am. From Finishing Line Press. This is one case where the wh...

Aug 6th, 2014 10:08 am. The 41st book of the year, and the last Ill be reviewing here (for the time being, anyway), is the latest volume of McSweeneys. Specifically McSweeneys No 46: Thirteen Crime Stories from Latin America. From the subtitle (and the previous volume of McSweeneys. The stories are not, for the most part, about solving crimes. They are not about the restoration of order. Injustice, corruption, and tragedy are the themes. Revenge is more likely to be the positive outcome (when...John Barn...

Jul 31st, 2014 11:28 am. The latest John Burroughs collection I have finished is the 1908 volume called Leaf and Tendril. This volume consists of reflections on science and natural history, including some discussions of evolution. I was amused to see that several of the topics were nearly identical to those in the Stephen Jay Gould collection. I recently finished, as were the conclusions. One paragraph that stood out for its time was this one, his evaluation of where the environment is headed:. My other ...

Aug 4th, 2014 07:04 pm. The 40th book of the year so far is a translation from the French, by a Vietnamese writer, Linda Lê (whose family left Vietnam for France when she was about 14.). The English title is The Three Fates. And I picked it up because I was told that Lê was the Vietnamese writer to read (she is critically acclaimed in literary circles), and I was looking for Southeast Asian writers to add to my list for World Literature classes. One might ask. Whose thought was that? I have an acronym fo...

Aug 6th, 2014 10:12 am. For the foreseeable future, due to the technical difficulties associated with this site, Ill be shifting all my book reviews to Goodreads. My page there is https:/ www.goodreads.com/user/show/3241. And Ill be carrying on pretty much as normal. My one caveat is that I dont think Ill be giving star ratings to volumes of poetry. That seems a bit much, to me.

Pittsburgh's premier science fiction and fantasy organization. This month @ Parsec. Swimming the Lucinda River. May 15, 2016. May 15, 2016. Seems I have been on a quest, circling the science fiction and fantasy whirlpool in a distant, yet interesting manner. On the periphery, far away from the madding bustle, I’ve been reminded of some quirky works of film and literature that don’t fit into any category. They are moving, deep, wonderful, and, at times, disturbing experiences. May 10, 2016. May 10, 2016.

The Blog That Fell From the Sky. Thoughts on the writing (and re-writing) life. Monday, June 2, 2008. For those of you waiting to hear how I did on the writing retreat I mentioned in my last post, please go to my new blog, Healing Through Writing. It went so well I made a bunch of phone calls and extended it another three days. And sign up for my free quarterly newsletter, Nibs. I'd be happy to send it along.
