When in Doubt, Read!: The New Class Conflict
http://nancyrbooks.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-new-class-conflict.html
When in Doubt, Read! A blog of book reviews. Books I have read and reviewed for Table Hopping. Tuesday, April 21, 2015. The New Class Conflict. I don't know if you, like me, have noticed an increasingly embattled exchange in our public arena. Some of this, I know, is due to social media. At first it was Twitter's tendency to slide into what more resembled the old Flamewars of BBS days, a series of increasingly angry if terse and occasionally clever barbs aimed at "the other side." So I quit it. Kotkin's ...

When in Doubt, Read!: January 2015

When in Doubt, Read! A blog of book reviews. Books I have read and reviewed for Table Hopping. Tuesday, January 20, 2015. South of Rising Sun. By: JD. McCall. By Guest Reviewer, John Sposato. I don't read a lot of westerns - but I have a friend who does. So I invited him to read and review this newly published novel about the Old West. From what I could observe, he buried his nose in the book for a solid three days, so it must have been purty good. Here, then, is his review:. The Rebel, Bonanza,. If you'...

When in Doubt, Read!: Things That Matter
http://nancyrbooks.blogspot.com/2014/05/things-that-matter.html
When in Doubt, Read! A blog of book reviews. Books I have read and reviewed for Table Hopping. Thursday, May 22, 2014. I admit it - my reading habit is so huge that I am way behind - the pile beside my bed grows ever higher. Yes, one day, I may be found buried under a fallen stack of unread books, novels, biographies, and nonfiction. But, I will have gone out as I lived: in a stack of reading material! And Walter Mondale. A Democrat and a Time Magazine. Of the far-left (perhaps even of the mid-left), Kra...

When in Doubt, Read!: Some Rules of the Road
http://nancyrbooks.blogspot.com/2014/12/some-rules-of-road.html
When in Doubt, Read! A blog of book reviews. Books I have read and reviewed for Table Hopping. Monday, December 22, 2014. Some Rules of the Road. As you must have guessed, I read. A lot. I have always had a wide-ranging appetite for the written word, fiction and non-fiction, romance and sci-fi, biography and crime cozies. In fact, I've often joked that I'll read a cereal box if there's nothing else around. And where are these emerging flaws most evident? While I agree, and I enjoy the creative use of a w...

Of books, livres, liberi, libelli. Books Read in 2011. Newer posts →. Naguib Mahfouz’s Palace of Desire. February 2, 2011. Translated by William Maynard Hutchins, Lorne M. Kenny, and Olive E. Kenny. Honestly, my feelings for this trilogy so far mimic those felt among members of a big family. Sometimes you love being around them, other times you want to scream, “What the what are you doing? 8221; but you always like (well, love) them. The second in Naguib Mahfouz. He was like a vaulter who keeps trying to...

Wandering in the Stacks: No Ordinary Matter
http://wanderinginthestacks.blogspot.com/2012/03/no-ordinary-matter-no-ordinary-matter.html
Wandering in the Stacks. Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore? Monday, March 12, 2012. Lillian and Veronica are two sisters who have always been close, despite the usual friction between siblings close in age. Now grown, with lives in New York City, they make sure to meet once a month at the Hungarian Pastry Shop. I liked that the dialogue seemed realistic in a way that it seldom does in books. It wasn't always so directly tied to the central conflict, but it managed to propel the action...
