My father was in the construction business, which meant that our large family moved many times before I finished high school. I spent my first seven years on a one-time farm outside of Indianapolis, Indiana, and recently I was delighted to find out that the house we lived in is still standing.

Theo of Golden by Allen  Levi
"Published in 2023, I selected this book due to the average review for it being incredibly high, one of the closest to 5 stars I have seen. Upon finishing it, I wavered on making this a 2 or 3 star review (since can’t give 2.5) and finally dropped it " Read more of this review »

Theo of Golden by Allen  Levi
"I mean no disrespect to the author with my review. It takes a hell of a lot of courage, dedication, and hard work to write a novel. Not every book for is for everyone, and I hope one day when I write one there will be people out there who read it and" Read more of this review »

Rate this book

I’m puzzled as to the message of this book. I wonder if even McEwan is sure. He had an idea, I imagine, to have an academician from the year 2114 look back on life on Earth a hundred years earlier, at the same time revealing how life on earth then wi ...more

What We Can Know by Ian McEwan
"In What We Can Know, there's a scene where a group of students in 2119 stand up to their professor's lecturing and proposed project to say, and I'm paraphrasing, "Enough of this shit." By the time this scene comes around, roughly at the midpoint of M" Read more of this review »

I am a very big fan of Edith Wharton. Her books are the kind that you can read every few years, over and over, and still enjoy and find moving.

Parts of her autobiography are very interesting to read, especially when she talks about how it was back th
