    Umberto Eco

    The intense research in constructing this novel, just like any other Eco book, is extraordinary! It moves like a wild fire through a dry forrest. I should not be so amazed because Eco is one talent whose prose is rarely experienced - a voice that leaves all other authors in the dust. I am just...

    Umberto Eco

    Oh yes. But sadly I haven't been able to go into it for the holiday activities are keeping me busy. Today I did start a new non fiction book: Let's hope I can have some time to sit and actually read these two selections properly. I am basically just skimming through them which is not a...

    Joyce Carol Oates

    I am currently reading High Lonesome: a beautiful and profound anthology of short fiction by Joyce Carol Oates. This is my very first reading of this amazing artist. Each story demands to be read slowly so as to capture her brilliance. The experiences we share in our lives and the close...

    Where are you? (in the book you are reading) - please read 1st post

    (the start of a new book) From a dimension where time shifts from tomorrow, to yesterday, to now; from one moment to the next I find an old time town in the middle of the hot desert plain. I enter its only saloon, make an order of three burgers and a glass of suds and, as I consume my food, a...

    books on spirituality

    Proverbs and James were my favorite bible books...they helped to strengthen my spiritual base at one point. But it is critical to note that a spiritual life is no longer a driving force in my life. Today I stray from such information, always with respect, and lean heavily on the sciences. I...
