Marilynne Robinson's Jack hits close to the bone, maybe even too close. Don't know that one has found one's Della. Don't know that one ever will. Robinson's a rather cogent thinker for a Christian. But there is the rub. I may well read her other ...

I recently managed to get hold of a book I read many years ago, and was more than a little shocked by it. I have for many years been a fan of British horror writer Graham Masterton and have collected almost all of his books bar one. In 1980 under the...

I might be a bit late to the party, but for those who like Scandinavian crime thrillers (or any type of mystery/crime books), have you read Jo Nesbo's Harry Hole series? I found Thirst (the 11th in the series I believe) at a bus stop and decided ...

Stephen Fry- Mythos I'm ashamed to say that I never knew much about Greek mythology until now. It never interested me, and I probably wouldn't have bought the book if Stephen Fry wasn't the author. But I have to say that I absolutely loved it. It's ...

The last two books I've read were Sapiens and Homo Deus, both written by the brilliant Yuval Noah Harari. I also have a third book if his, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. Highly recommend his works to anyone who is interested in history, ...

I am interested in occult books, philosophy, and great knowledge. If you're planning to dispose of it, maybe I can take advantage of it by reading some.

I’m reading How Jesus Became God by Bart D Ehrman. He is much more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to the Bible so I can’t claim I’m right and he’s wrong but it seems to me that he takes a lot more of Jesus’s life events as actually ...

I'm currently trying to get through Robert Sapolsky's Behave, which is terrific, but no walk in the park for the non-neuroscientists among us. His other books were more accessible. But he's the only hilarious primatologist/neuroscientist out ...

Posted by ReignmondA highly biased selection.

Posted by ReignmondI read this back in 2018. Absolutely loved it. It is an oddly small sized book, so it is good to travel with. [amazon.com]
