In the Genes
One of the easiest rabbit holes for me to trip into is genealogy. Now, I know that other people’s ancestry quickly gets boring, so I’m not going to write about that. But I will note some things that among the few real benefits of our electronic life—how the web has made the search much easier. I have the advantage of having unusual ancestral names (back a few generations some Smiths enter in, b

| It’s always a little tricky to rate a diary. It reflects the author’s perception of things, and sometimes we think we’d have done it differently. John William Polidori was hired to write a diary of his travels with Lord Byron in the year 1816. This w ...more | |

| This is a novel based on what might have happened when Lord Byron and the Shelley party met up in Switzerland in 1816. In that sense it’s an historical novel, but more of a character study than a novel. If you’re not into several pages of reflection ...more | |

| I picked this book up at a used bookstore many years ago. There are many more recent books on the history of horror, so this one sat on my shelf for years. Realizing I’d never read it, I pulled it down and indulged. I’m glad I did. This is a period p ...more | |

| This book is about advances in science regarding body parts that can be, or almost can be, replaced. It ranges widely, and is very well written, as all Mary Roach books are. If you’re not familiar, Roach is a science writer with a great sense of humo ...more | |

| My frustration with biographies of Lord Byron is that they are too long. I’ve been looking for a reasonably brief exploration of his life without going into extraneous detail. Biographers are often quite indulgent in that respect, and although I unde ...more | |

| This book is more about the crisis that came about after the eruption of Tambora in 1815 than it is about the volcano itself. Like many young people, I grew up fascinated by volcanoes. I’ve never lived near one and would be terrified to do so, but I ...more | |

| This is a good, creepy, quick read. It may not satisfy some hard-core horror fans, but it is a reflective story that made me think of a number of issues that revolve around loving someone. And aging. Edward and Louise are married. He’s been unfaithfu ...more | |

“The Ethiops say that their gods are flat-nosed and black,
While the Thracians say that theirs have blue eyes and red hair.

And could sculpt like men, then the horses would draw their gods
Like horses, and cattle like cattle; and each they would shape
Bodies of gods in the likeness, each kind, of their own.”
