Paperbacks
by
Shh_ImReading@evpl
on Thursday, July 30 2009, 3:28pm
Something to think about today (or any day) when you pick up a paperback book is that paperbacks are a relatively modern invention. Okay, they're modern if you think back to clay tablets and papyrus rolls. The modern paperback was introduced by Penguin...

I’ve always been a Paul Newman fan, and was aware that a couple of books had been published about him since his death, but couldn’t remember the titles. Along the way to finding those two books ( Paul Newman: a life by Shawn Levy and the People...

on Tuesday, July 21 2009, 4:00pm
Once in a while I like to go back and read a classic that I have not read in years. This summer I pulled out my old copy of The Good Earth (1931) by Pearl S. Buck . I have read a couple other books by Buck, Dragon Seed , most notable. I enjoy her writing...

Between, Georgia by Joshilyn Jackson

HRevvdon@evpl
on Tuesday, July 21 2009, 1:21pm
Between, Georgia (2006) by Joshilyn Jackson is my first read by this author. To tell the truth I was expecting something along the lines of the Fannie Flagg books. Although Jackson's novel is not at all like Flagg's, I was not disappointed in...

Prayers for Sale by Sandra Dallas
by
HRevvdon@evpl
on Wednesday, July 1 2009, 7:54pm
I am a Sandra Dallas fan. I know she usually appeals more to women than men, but her stories are always set in the late 1800's or early 1900's and usually in Colorado or the surrounds and I like them. Prayers for Sale (2009) is no exception, it...
