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.

Benjamin Chandler and 5 other people liked Carla Remy's review of Black Amber:
Black Amber by Phyllis A. Whitney
"From 1964
Good if overlong gothic mystery romance set in Turkey. "
Maria
Maria is 99% done with Game Changer: I could never get over the detail that The Admirals is -not- a real team in NY, but -is- a real team in Milwaukee.

Have you ever read a book and felt like it was written for you? That its themes and places and even individual words were a letter from the author who you had never met and never will?

That's kind of how I felt about this book.

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
