Evvy's Civil War
Story of a Southern girl during the Civil War, showing her relationship with the slaves and her growing social consciousnous. A very excellent story. QUOTE (As I remember it, too lazy to look it up.) "South Carolina, too small to be a country, too big to be an insane asylum."

I Try To Take One Day At A Time
But Sometimes Several Days Attack Me At Once. A Pot-Shots™ a day for a whole year. Some of them I liked, but mostly... meh. I guess you have to be in the mood for this sort of thing. I wonder if he did the illustrations, too, and if not, did he managed to copyright them, too?

Read : 3/2007
The Longest Cave
Tells how the connections between various caves in the Mammoth cave area of Kentucky were discovered. Lots of maps, photos, and drawings. Almost too much detail. A holo-map of the area would have been useful! Interesting that Wil Crowther's (Colossal Cave game fame) wife was on the final connection team.
Read : 8/2003
Sparky-For-Short
Published in 1930, 85 pages. A bizarre story of a spark (as in, from Ben Franklin's kite experiment, literally!) who turns into a real boy, or something, I don't know. This is probably someone's cherished childhood book, but, other than the charming illustrations by the author, I didn't much care for it.

A Short History Of Nearly Everything
A history of the science we know about planet Earth. A lot of detail, but interesting, and interesting anecdotes in the Bryson manner.
