Entertaining and imaginative story of a tech startup devised and implemented by a woman and then fronted and "stolen" by her husband. The creativity of authors who not only write an intriguing novel but also come up with an invention stuns me, and th ...more

David rated a book it was amazing Dr. No by Percival Everett	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
Another classic from Everett. A hysterical mashup of Abbott and Costello and Austin Power’s Dr. Evil. The mathematician jokes were just icing on the cake. Everett is a master. Love his work.

A strong 4.5 that I’m rounding up because of the subject matter and how much it made me think. There were some plot holes (why not follow the electricity and water??) but otherwise it was fascinating - isolation, gender dynamics, what is freedom, lif ...more

This was a true 4.5 for me, but I'm rounding up because it hit a lot of the things I love - great writing, learning about a country's history (Libya from the late 70s forward) that I previously only knew surface level, great incorporation about the i ...more

Quotes by David S. Cohen (?)

“Individual abortion providers have been picketed at home and have received harassing mail and phone calls. Their family members have been followed where they work, their children have been protested at school, and their neighbors’ privacy has been invaded.”
― David S. Cohen, Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism

1 likes

“despite abortion being such a common and safe medical procedure, individuals who provide abortion care cannot count on their own personal safety, and partly because abortion providers are not safe, there are very few abortion providers in the United States. Because of their work, abortion providers have been murdered, shot, kidnapped, assaulted, stalked, and subjected to death threats. Their clinics have been bombed, attacked with noxious chemicals, invaded, vandalized, burglarized, and set ablaze.”
― David S. Cohen, Living in the Crosshairs: The Untold Stories of Anti-Abortion Terrorism

“Donald Yates, a longtime clinic owner and physician in a South Atlantic state, routinely ended his workday to find his car tires punctured.”
