My dad introduced me to the Three Stooges at a very young age. Over the years I have read quite a few books about them. I read Moe's autobiography, which was completed after his death by the family. I read Curly's biography written by his niece. Larry wrote an "autobiography," but there is controversy about … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Shemp!

Book Recommendation – The Woman in the Window
I am really behind the times with the book I just finished. I found out that it came out in 2018, and actually had already been made into a Netflix movie. The Woman in the Window was recommended to me by the owner of a used book store I frequent. We were talking about our … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Woman in the Window
Book Recommendation – Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder
This is another book that I read because of the title. I admit that at first I assumed Lenny was a male character. I'm not sure why, but it sounded to me like a crime novel. It wasn't. I suppose if I had looked at the cover, I might have figured out that Lenny was … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Lenny Marks Gets Away With Murder
Book Recommendation – The Man Who Died Seven Times
I recently took the kids to Barnes and Noble to get a book. While I was there, I looked around at the new books. I always like to see what's out and what I might want to add to my list.

Book Recommendation – The War Pianist
My wife knows I like historical fiction books. She found this at Sam's Club and said, "It sounds like a story you might like. My first thought was "a piano player during wartime?" Then I read the Goodreads Synopsis: Pianist: NOUN. Informal. A person who operates or controls a radio transmitter – often in code. … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The War Pianist
Book Recommendation – Murder on Black Swan Lane
It's been a while since I posted a book recommendation. I slowed down a bit over the past couple weeks as I was finishing up a semester of my bible classes and taking exams. In searching for my next read, I had scrolled through my Goodreads "want to read" list. This one had been on … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Murder on Black Swan Lane
Book Recommendation – Dead Wake
I have always been fascinated by the Titanic. I wrote many research reports on the ship while in school. With as many books that I have read on Titanic and other ships, I had never read about the Lusitania. Dead Wake - The Last Crossing of the Lusitania came up on a book suggestion list. … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Dead Wake
Book Recommendation – Paranoia
Every once in a while I need to bump a book on my "To be read" list up. This happens for various reasons. Sometimes the audiobook becomes available sooner than expected. Other times it is because I really have waited to read the book. This one - well, it was the book my wife got … Continue reading Book Recommendation – Paranoia
