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 ...

I just finished The Heart is a Lonely Hunter. I don't know how I went all these years without reading this, but some how I did. So glad I finally picked it up. It's amazing that McCullers was only 24 when she wrote it. Her understanding of humanity...

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.

Does anyone in this group use Libib, or another library management service? I've been using Libib for a few years and find it very helpful for cataloging my library.

Just finished "Manhattan Beach" by Jennifer Egan. Anyone here read it? I really enjoyed it. It must have taken a lot of research.

I've been reading a lot of fiction this year and have not much to recommend. I have read some outstanding works, though. One of the best is "The Heavenly Table" by Donald Ray Pollock. He does not have a large body of work, but the above is an ...

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,...

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 ...
