Stephen King’s Carrie
Holy smokes! It’s October already! I can hardly believe it! I also can’t believe that I’m a bit behind here on the blog. I’m hoping that’s going to change with some more activity and timeliness of my posts as we rush toward the end of 2012! Last week, I completed my reading of Stephen King’s Carrie. [...]
Agatha Christie’s Murder On The Links
In my quest to read all of Agatha Christie’s published works, I recently completed the fourth book off that list, Murder on the Links. Murder on the Links was originally published in 1923 and is the second book featuring private eye Hercule Poirot. This second book featuring Hercule Poirot is similarly written as the first, The Mysterious [...]
Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court
Last week, I completed my reading of the 8th book on my Classics Club list, Mark Twain’s A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. What I’m about to say may be quite difficult to believe, but until this book, I had never read anything by Mark Twain. While in high school, when other English classes were [...]
My Thoughts On Agatha Christie’s The Secret Adversary
Yesterday evening, I completed my reading of Agatha Christie’s The Secret Adversary. The Secret Adversary is the second book published by Agatha Christie in 1922, and is the first book of the Tommy and Tuppence books she wrote. I couldn’t find a copy in our public library, but, fortunately, I managed to find a free copy [...]
My Thoughts On Offit’s Autism’s False Prophets
As many of you know, I’m quite the rookie with being a dad, as my wife and I just had our first child almost 6 weeks ago. Before and after his arrival, my wife and I have been overwhelmed with the amount of information that’s out there for new parents. From sleeping, eating, general care, [...]
My Thoughts On Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind
Earlier this week, I completed my reading of Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind. As I mentioned in my post, June Is Gone With The Wind, that I was only somewhat familiar with the book, but mostly through the movie that stars Clark Gable and Vivian Leigh, which I hadn’t seen since I was a kid. [...]
My Thoughts On Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men
The other night, I completed reading John Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, the sixth book from my Classics Club list. I checked out Of Mice and Men from the library along with Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind. On the evening of July 4th, I decided to take an evening off from Gone With the Wind, and to read something [...]
My Thoughts On Hellmuth, Jr’s Play Poker Like the Pros
A week ago, I completed Phil Hellmuth, Jr.’s Play Poker Like the Pros. I purchased Play Poker Like the Pros about 7 years ago when I was quite interested in playing poker, specifically Texas Hold’em poker. For the longest time, this book sat on my bookshelf collecting dust, and I decided to read it as part [...]
My Thoughts on George Martin’s A Clash of Kings
Over Memorial Day weekend, I completed my reading of George R.R. Martin’s A Clash of Kings, the second book of A Song of Fire and Ice series. After having read book one, A Game of Thrones, and thoroughly enjoying it, I was looking for a very similar experience with this second book. While the story [...]
