I love to read and write and I am lucky enough to make a living teaching both. I also write, record, and perform music in a few different projects over the years. Can't do audiobooks. Enjoy a good paperback/hardcover.

I do not participate in any other forms of social media. Goodreads is good enough for me.

I also buy and sell classic soul, funk, and early rock 'n' roll vinyl 45s on Discogs (if you're into that sort of thing):

Much love from Iowa to my Goodreads reading family!

"SERPENTI DI CONFINE



I serpenti di confine, quelli nominati nel titolo originale (Bordersnakes), sono gente tosta, al di là della durezza, inclini alla crudeltà. Gente che si diverte a praticarla, a usare violenza:

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
"Crystal clear prose that coruscates like an ornate chandelier in a mansion on the north shore of Long Island. It's rich to an American reader such as myself. Like all things American: alone and haunting where you realize that you are an individual st" Read more of this review »

"Martian Time Slip by Philip K. Dick, published in 1964, is one of PKDs better books.

Set on Mars, this is largely about Terran colonists taking care of business. Dick provides a snapshot of social, political and economic life on Mars. “Bleekmen” are " Read more of this review »

Needed a break from two 19th century classics, so I picked up Philip K. Dick's "Martian Time-Slip" from a used bookstore in Cedar Rapids. I could not put this down. Absolutely loved it.

So many things to consider after this incredible read, including:

"I picked this up because Harold Bloom once recommended it somewhere, and when Bloom recommends something you tend to follow along, if only out of curiosity. The man built an entire reputation on reading more seriously and more deeply than most of us " Read more of this review »
