Rough last few days
it's been a very bad last few days. Tuesday I found out that one of the people that I used to work with some years ago back in SLC had passed away. I was very fond of her, and really admired her skill at creating things. One of my more prized possessions w

Review: _The Last Policeman:_ A chilling dystopia with some surprising twists
One of the books that I had been looking forward to reading this year was Ben H. Winters' The Last Policeman. While I don't care much for very many dystopias, I had heard that this was one worth looking out for. And when I spotted it on a list for my nook,

Review: _Dressing Downton:_ A fun little book that shows the changing fashions of the Great War and the roaring 20s
I confess that I am a nut about Downton Abbey. From the series to the ancillary books that go into the background of the television programme, it's a pretty good bet that I will pick up a copy for my personal collection. Recently, there was a tour here in

Review: _The White Cascade:_ The chronicle of an avalanche in the high Cascade mountains

Where I have been
Winter is not an easy time for me. The darkness gets to me, and when it is cold, and my body is acting up, all I really want to do is hibernate and stay in bed. Having a Nook makes it worse, I can just lay in bed and watch Netflix or Hulu, or read, and tha

Review: _Slightly Foxed -- but still desirable:_ A collection of terms and drawings of the arcane world of book collectors.
Every few months, a very heavy box arrives at my doorstep by way of the Royal Mail, and much to the despair of my partner, J, I dive into another shipment from the Folio Society. The Folio Society publishes high end quality, and sometimes very rare books,

Pre holiday jollies. And all that.
Not much has been going on lately, just me bitching about the cold and how it is making me feel. Mostly rotten, as my joints have been swollen and aching lately.
Today was fairly busy. J and I went to the market to get the shopping done, at the unspeakabl
