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

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 just finished An American Childhood by Annie Dillard. It was poignant, evocative and beautifully written. I suppose it hit close to home because I grew up in the same post WWII era.

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

There's a tv station airing an adaptation of Patrick Melrose by Edward St. Aubyn. I got about 5 pages into this book when it took a vile and horrific turn. I've learned since then that the novels are semi-autobiographical. He's a very well-regarded ...

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 ...

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.
