Video reviews

I have recently begun making reviews and short videos about the vintage paperbacks I've been reading. I discuss the book, read a tidbit, and go in depth about the author, illustrator, genre, or publisher.

If you're interested, you can find them at Paperbacks That Time Forgot.

I enjoyed this one for the most part. I thought I'd breeze through it since it was just 140 pages, but the writing was so dense it took a bit longer. The characters, the nurse especially, were prone to speeches done in that kind of mid-century pontif ...more

Loved this up until the resolution which left me disappointed. The story was so convoluted and with so many red herrings and layers that the answers to the mysteries kind of fell flat in their simplicity. Lovely writing, though, intelligent, and with ...more

"I bought this book assuming it was going to be about realistic hares – there’s nothing in the synopsis or on the cover that suggests otherwise – but they’re actually anthropomorphic. They wear clothes, live in houses, get married, etc. They must also" Read more of this review »

Shel Silverstein
“Ma and God

God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your fork."
God gave us voices--Ma says, "Don't scream."
Ma says eat broccoli, cereal and carrots.
But God gave us tasteys for maple ice cream.

God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Use your hanky."
God gave us puddles--Ma says, "Don't splash."
Ma says, "Be quiet, your father is sleeping."
But God gave us garbage can covers to crash.

God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Put your gloves on."
God gave us raindrops--Ma says, "Don't get wet."
Ma says be careful, and don't get too near to
Thoses strange lovely dogs that God gave us to pet.

God gave us fingers--Ma says, "Go wash 'em."
But God gave us coal bins and nice dirty bodies.
And I ain't too smart, but there's one thing for certain--
Either Ma's wrong or else God is.”
Shel Silverstein
