Kipling created continuing dramatic tension in the framework of rectitude in The Jungle Book, Vol. 1. Two of my favorite stories are “Kaa’s Hunting” and “Toomai of the Elephants.” The characters are well wrought, they live the stories, the drama is pe ...more |

Are you dying to know what 201 authors who picked up a wide array of quills, pencils, and pens in the last 500 years had to say about books, readers, and libraries? This anthology leaves out a few remarks, to be sure. I guess it’s fair to say there’s ...more |

| I started reading American Revolutions. I'm gratified that Alan Taylor poses an explanation for the "cause" of the Civil War that makes a lot more sense to me than the standard "it was a war against slavery." Taylor makes a case for a principal cause ...more | |

“In spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death.
