"The Man Who presumed: A Biography of Henry M Stanley by Byron Farwell. Less than 100 pages in, and I find this fascinating. I don't even remember how I got turned on to this book, but I got it for Christmas. Even if the rest of it sucks, it is worth…"
"MISSION TO HORATIUS:
Continuing my journey through children's literature of a bygone era, I read Mission to Hoatius, a YA Star Trek tie-in from 1967 which has the distinction of being the very fist Star Trek prose book to see print. This HC…"

"SPACE PIRATE:
I wasn't going to do this, but I'm going to post a few excerpts from Space Pirate, one of a series of books by Henry Bamman, William Odell and Robert Whitehead I read between the second and fifth grades. I remember the covers of these…"

"I've been listening to audiobooks as I've gone out on my walks... and now that my foot's mostly better, I'm able to take those walks again. I'm currently listening to All the Birds in the Sky by Charlie Jane Anders, and it's ridiculously good. I'd…"
"I finished reading The Gospel According to Peanuts this morning. (You were right; it is a quick read.) I would have finished it last night but Tracy wanted to go to bed early. The book is not quite what I expected. I expected it to be an examination…"
"Also... Short differentiates the respective roles of the message and the interpretation. All of my adult life, I have relied on Isaac Asimov's interpretation (Asimov's Guide to the Bible), but the last time I attempted a deep read of The Bible I…"
"It's unabashedly Christian, and comparatively conservative in its outlook at that. But I find all kinds of points of view interesting. I wonder a little now about what inspired my mother (most likely) or my father to pick up this book, or if perhaps…"
"So far I have read only the first section. It is more Christian and less philosophical than I had hoped (i.e., more Christian philosopy and less "pure" philosophy), however it has already given me new insights into Peanuts (and into Christianity as…"
"Let me know what you think!"
"I ordered The Gospel According to Peanuts via Amazon.com yesterday, and I have already received it today, less than 24 hours later. (That's one thing I love about living in the future.) I have already read the foreword and plan to start reading part…"
"Ah. Now that helps. "
"By the time I was in the fifth grade, I had read every book in the series.
THESE are the ones I remember best."

"You're welcome. It is a quick read."
"Thank you. That was no help whatsoever. :)"
"I am interested in pop culture in general and comics in particular (obviously), and in theology and belief (though I no longer have a religion). I find the decade into which I was born to be a particularly interesting period of history. I like…"
"I read your review. It doesn't sound like a book I would like (although I love Charles Schulz's strips dealing with theology). Yet this is "one of the few books I took from the house" after your parents died. So, what do you think? Would you…"
