READING, READING, READING,

Here's the third quarter book report. Please follow the link for the date the report was posted to read the diary entry, or book review, at Fifty Book Challenge. I evaluated some books as particularly good (+) or particularly bad (-).

  1. The Book on the Bookshelf, 8 July 2010.
  2. Stealing the General: The Great Locomotive Chase and the First Medal of Honor, 12 July 2010.
  3. The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily, 1943-1944, 24 July 2010. (+)
  4. Small Things Considered: Why There is No Perfect Design, 30 July 2010. (+)
  5. A Darker Place, 1 August 2010.
  6. The Future in Plain Sight: Nine Clues to the Coming Instability, 19 August 2010.
  7. The Hunger Games, 28 August 2010. (-)
  8. Toxic Talk: How the Radical Right has Poisoned America's Airwaves, 20 September 2010. (-)
The bookworm has added a few more segments. Still no promise of making fifty by year's end, although there is a sizeable pile of books read and awaiting review.

Oooooooooooooooooooooo
