I read Kevin Kwan's "Crazy Rich Asians" and found it clever and funny. Last weekend, I saw the movie based on the novel and was unexpectedly delighted. This might be the only time when the movie added important visual information to the story. Highly...

I just found out my favorite book series has been scooped up by Amazon for a TV show. I'm beyond excited. Any other Wheel of Time fans out there?

Just started reading "The Agony and The Ecstasy" by Irving Stone. Fascinating historical novel about Michaelangelo. Can't put it down.

Hi all! Just finished 2 light reads and thought I'd comment on them. First Always Look On the Bright Side A Sortabiography by Eric Idle Quick, fun read with dozens of witty anecdotes. A lot of Britain references which are simply lost on an American ...

I didn't notice it is a novel otherwise I wouldn't have bought it. Oh well, kind of glad I did since it is an easy read. Written from the perspective of a woman where I felt like she is a little bit biased... There is more than what it meets the eye,...

Took me a while but it was time well spent and a hell of a tour de force. Mr Isaacson delivers (Now third in my collection). It's on my shelf of completed and favorite now. Highly recommendable.

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 ...

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 read this back in about 1983. Phenomenal book! Chapters alternate between a Sci-Fi story of an Ark spaceship and the problems that occur on their journey, and the earth-bound science behind the problem.

Looking again at this book reminds me that I wanted to re-listen to it again. It is that good and instructive of our Nation's procedural institutions. The author's engaging dialogue is highlight of what ordinarily a dull subject.

A short Sci-Fi that is quite good even though it will only take about an hour to read. It is also kinda cheap.

Marilynne Robinson's Gilead on the table. Written before Jack, but its events coming afterward. Interesting to a non-believer that the literary artefacts of a worldview foreign to one's own—as in, some religious people, including at least one ...

Coming to the end of Marilynne Robinson's Home. I might have said this before, but I'll say it again. The black sheep—or maybe the white sheep—of a family may see Jack Boughton in him/herself, or him/herself in Jack Boughton. But the difference...
