I'm currently reading home waters by John Maclean. It's about his father and time in Montana at seely lake. He is a journalist and editor and talks about the his father having him read a river runs through it for the first time. He said he told him don't let any editor or publisher touch one word. Said it was perfect exactly like it was.

I read that recently.  Really enjoyed his perspective on the family history.

Well done for the author's debut novel. Historical Fiction with a North Carolina flair.

With all the hullabaloo over development of metaverse technology created to help us escape into the netherworlds, I personally still prefer the old ways of doing the same.

Middle-earth never looked so good.

A well done reference guide that offers an understanding and tips for dealing with family members, friends, or anyone that is suffering through this difficult condition.

My first from this author. A hell of a good read. More of his work will occupy my free time in the future.

They're all a fun read but all sort of sound the same in my opinion.

Earlier consumed by this one, so I decided to reexamine and check all the notes I made the first go around.

I assume Allen's texts were scrutinized and challenged.  If her words are true, then much of what we learned in school about our founding fathers and our nation's historical beginning might need revisiting.

I sort of expect that going forward. I've just received another of his books. Time will tell.
