Akira (volume 2), by Katsuhiro Otomo

April 13, 2019April 9, 2019Leave a comment

My Copy: 9781935429029 (image from bn.com) The gang is back, and Tetsuo is determined to find and meet Akira...whatever that means. According to the adults, it can only mean something really, really bad. Akira (volume 2) focuses again on the teens Kaneda, Tetsuo, Kei and the experimental children (Kyoko, Masaru, and Takashi). The characters and … Continue reading Akira (volume 2), by Katsuhiro Otomo

The League of Frightened Men, by Rex Stout

April 11, 2018Leave a comment

My Copy: 0553259334 (image from pinterest) I've read a few dozen Nero Wolfe novels and novellas so far, and this is one I barely remembered. I mean, I knew I read it, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me, apparently. Well, now I have an idea why. I thought the setup was … Continue reading The League of Frightened Men, by Rex Stout

Dune, by Frank Herbert

January 24, 20183 Comments

My Copy: 0425080021 (image from pinterest) I saw the movie at least two dozen times before I knew there even was a book. Then I saw a classmate reading it in 9th grade. And I went to the first second-hand store I could find to get it. I've read the book probably half a dozen … Continue reading Dune, by Frank Herbert

Honeymoon, by James Patterson & Howard Roughan

December 30, 2017June 10, 2020Leave a comment

My copy: 978145552985 (image from amazon.com) I was directed to this book because I was looking at James Patterson's outline for his Masterclass. Now, though, I've read it twice and still enjoy the hell out of it. Nora Sinclair is a woman I don't think I've ever read in literature before, and she makes it … Continue reading Honeymoon, by James Patterson & Howard Roughan

The Complete Sherlock Holmes: The Valley of Fear (#6 of 8)

June 29, 2017July 1, 2017Leave a comment

The last of Doyle's novels has a heckuva punch in it. I don't remember the last time I read this, but it must've been a very long time ago because the story of the murdered man really took me by surprise, probably the biggest surprise I'd read yet in the Holmes stories.

Jaws, by Peter Benchley

December 23, 2016April 27, 20172 Comments

My copy: 9780553204650 There's something awful in me about reviewing a book I'd read only after watching the movie over a hundred times. For one thing, I was five years old and could quote every line (though I had the sense not to repeat Quint's dialogue--I would've gotten my rear worn out by mom every day … Continue reading Jaws, by Peter Benchley

The Story So Far…

  • The annoying war against vermin has resumed…
  • Getting past a week of migraines through rest, yard work, & glasses… who knew?
  • Borrowed Q #157: Jan 6, 2021 was… a “revolution” of what, exactly?
  • Narcissism is a weapon, & storming the Capitol building in D.C. was a result…
  • My near-week of dizzy hell points most likely to Vestibular Migraines
