I read widely from many genres. Perhaps this blog will feature fewer ratings and reviews, but I certainly intend to write about my reading life - it's the subject I most find myself wanting to talk about.
Currently reading
D-Day: June 6, 1944: The Climactic Battle of WWII
Symphony for the City of the Dead: Dmitri Shostakovich and the Siege of Leningrad
The Path Between the Seas
Chekhov Four Plays
The Gay Science: with a Prelude in Rhymes and an Appendix of Songs
A Kierkegaard Anthology
Sometimes, you just know . . .
Sometimes, I have to think for a while -- or a long while -- about how I would "rate" a book. And sometimes, I just know as soon as I close the cover.
Today was one of those days. This "graphic history" hit my emotional, intellectual, and artistic buttons in all the right ways, and as soon as I closed the back cover, I knew: Five stars.
Highly recommend. Read it all in one sitting, for best effect. My time was about 1:45, so if you have time for a movie, you have time for this one.
