I too would have liked more about Snorri in this book, but I suspect the author did the best she could with what is available. It's still a good read, with insight into Icelandic culture. Among other things, it helped me understand what created the s ...more

I first read this the year it came out, before Bouton's more justly famous "Ball Four." I remembered enjoying its humor. What I didn't remember is that most of it is about Bouton's career as an author and sportscaster, rather than about his baseball ...more

The author does an excellent job of using multiple points of view to tell the story of the murder or suicide of an executive in a parking garage. There are a number of effective twists. I would have liked a little more prominence of the Rio de Janeir ...more

As with many readers, I discovered W.W. Jacobs through "The Monkey's Paw," which appeared in my 9th grade English anthology. It's a great story, its horror heightened by occasional humor. For years, the only other work by Jacobs I could find was "The ...more

I have mixed feelings about this novel. As with Durrell's "Alexandria Quartet," which I quite enjoyed reading 40 years ago, "Monsieur" has multiple narrators who present different versions of what is "real." At times I was enchanted by Durrell's pros ...more

I first read this 50 years ago. It has long been one of my favorite Dickens novels, along with David Copperfield and Great Expectations. On my second reading, I can see it has some flaws. Among them are the title character is passive and flat (though ...more

I would think any serious Monty Python fan would thoroughly enjoy this, a valuable look behind the scenes in the making of a comedy classic. I found it exhilarating to revisit some of my favorite scenes, such as "Biggest Dickus," "I Want You to Call ...more
