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 ...

The Town and the City. Published the year one “John” Kerouac—the name it appeared —was twenty-eight, seven years before On the Road made him famous. You could compare it to Mailer's The Naked and the Dead. With both books, it is ...

I'm currently reading "The Power Worshippers" by Katherine Stewart. Is anyone else reading this? Seems like a great non-fiction book to discuss here with its meaty contents. I'm only a few hours into it, but I've just got to share that this book ...

Reading The Age of Skin by Dubravka Ugresic, a Croatian essayist now living in Amsterdam. One line struck me. After a description of ex-Yugoslavia as a place of ruin and brutalist kitsch, she says to imagine the best-known museums in Paris, London,...

The non-fiction in this group is hard to find. If you are as committed to non-fiction as I am, please post it in this thread. I will add to the thread with Robert MacFarland’s Underland.

Are there any other fans of Kate Atkinson here? I ask not just because I think she's a brilliant novelist, but because she often mentions, seemingly in passing, that one or another of her characters is an atheist, and it seems to me that they are ...

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...

Westworld on dvd. Love me some Thandie Newton. The show is, of course, a variation on a theme that has been with us quite a while, going back at least to Frankenstein, maybe to the golem or further: If man creates a being in his own image, thus ...

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 ...
