Books I've Read

Fat professor guy loses weight, stops drinking, quits smoking, becomes local hot bicycle rider. Mostly a pretty good book, might read it again.

Friend Ada goes down the rabbit hole after Alice. Hard to read, but interesting anyway. Spent a LOT of time looking up words!

Quote: Oh well. Marmalade has to make its way in life, like the rest of us, she thought. -- pg. 24

Retake on the Cinderella tale. Surprise twist at end, at least I was surprised. A slow-moving story, but interesting.

Confusing story of Winifred Rudge who stops off in London at her cousin's place, run into...ghosts, maybe? It is all cleared up, finally, in a pretty good story. But it was a rough go, for me, for quite a while.

An orphan tooth fairy finds his way the world, while three children and their cousin wait out a MOBY storm for news of their parents.

Is it a sign of a good book when you want to read more? Or is it better to have a satisfying conclusion?

Interesting take on Oz. Sexual situations.

Pretty much what it says. San Diego City only. Lots of pictures and several maps.

Fourteen stories selected by Barry Malzberg. Some really good stuff here, except I really didn't care for the Philip K. Dick story.

Time travel, epidemic, life on the moon. Good story, I enjoyed it. Don't know about the paradox, though.

Five stories of the Swedish policeman Kurt Wallander. Pretty good stuff!

A Swedish poet is unwillingly coerced into hearing the stories of three illegal immigrants. While the stories are quite tragic, there is some humor in his tribulations.

A number of stories and poems of mystery and wierdness (fairies?) by classic authors like Poe, F. Scott Fitgerald, Thurber and Holmes, for example. I kinda skipped the poetry... Favorite story was The Murder Of George Washington, by Richard M Gordon.

Co-authored by Jim DeFelice. Demo Dick saves the Pope from gettin blown up. I like how many of the people he encounters say his first book was the best. With index.

The Rogue Warrier afield and afoot in Europe.

Introduces the real operators from the Rogue Warrier series..

With Jim Defelice, Marcinko tells the tale of impersonating Fidel Castro to gather information on a big plot. Moves right along, a pretty good read.

I'm PRETTY sure this one is fictional. Dickie goes to North Korea to have dinner with Kim Jong Il. Of course Richard has other motives. Like locating nuclear weapons. The dictator orders Dick to find his son. Stuff happens.

It was funny how this book tied in with the book I just finished, Richard Belzor's I Am Not A Cop!, what with the Russian phrases, references to the mafiya, and the Spetsnaz.

I would like to have see more about Cho Lim, the North Korean soldier/agent/spy who loved animals.

Some renagade American sojers steal a suitcase nuke and plan to use it, in all places, Portland Oregon, since apparantly it is a den of immorality. Hilarity ensues...

Dicky goes to the Caucasus area to rescue hostages on yet another oil rig, among other things.

Dicky finds out who is swiping U.S. Army weapons and selling them to street gangs. This is the book with the incredible dread destroyer of telephone eqipment, the encrypted message- sending fax machine (page 276)!!
