Books I've Read

How four girls spent their summer. Very good, several weepy times.

An abused Dachshund seeks revenge upon the Poodle that set him up. An interesting tale, some obligatory weeps at the end.

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."

A young girl is diagnosed with leprosy and sent to the leper colony on Molokai island. Good story!

Some Mafia gangs in Brooklyn shoot it out. And some other stuff. The book was OK, I hear the movie was not. Surely I saw it, back in the day. It had Leigh Taylor-Young, for goodness sake! I never heard of her co-star, some guy named Robert DeNiro...

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?

A garbage collector astronaut recovers an interesting piece of orbiting debris.

Talk about feet made of clay!!! Ditto! P.I. in the future is duped.... Hahahaah, I crack myself up! Possibly 100 pages too long?

A collection of stories and essays.

Finally read this charming Newbery award winning book. Very Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Continues the story of Caddie Woodlawn and the people she knows. Charming!

Television reporter Michael Carolina investigates the murder of a young man at a boat race. Pretty good. .

Interesting, but did not finish it, it was on a seven-day-checkout. August, 2009.

A super train travel from China to Russia and back over the weirded-out wastelands of, I guess, Siberia. It was OK.

Mistaya gets herself kicked out of prep school, so she heads back to Landover where she ends up in the kingdom's library.

Stars Wars, Episode 1. Just like the movie with a little more background.

Susan works for the NSA who sends her fiancee to retrieve a crypto "key".

I guess there is a reason books are best sellers. Two weeps.

Several robots in crates get washed up on a deserted island. Nice story, middle school level. Book one in a series.

Ned recounts his experiences as a Navajo Code Talker during World War II to his grandchildren. Very good.
