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.

NASCAR and the like were never my thing. It was dull to watch cars that look like coupons roll around a big oval. Imagine my surprise when I was really charmed by this book about a teenager making it into the NASCAR big leagues.

A decent western with some great ideas that I fear Patten didn't always follow through on.

Longmire is on the run, trying to escape the revenge-hungry Zellman. Longmire killed Zellamn's son, though it was in self-defense. Longman is, truth be told, a

The Lone Gun by Howard Rigsby
"I read SUNDOWN AT CRAZYHORSE by Vechel Howard a few years back, but i've only recently learned that Howard Rigsby and Vechel Howard are the same writer. I'm sure he could have insisted on writing under his full name, Vechel Howard Rigsby. I doubt any" Read more of this review »

“Who says Television isn't educational, as soon as the T.V. comes on I read a book.”
Groucho Marx

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
