Television Watcher, Sidewalk Philospher, Musician, and Working Stiff . I don't read so much anymore, except for news and world events via the Internet. I am actually in the on and off again process of writing a novel. This site is great. I look forward to start reading again. I look forward to reading your recommendations.

    This is where literature and philosophy meet. This is a masterpiece.

  • The Great Gatsby
    • Rated 5 stars

    This book is the Jazz Age written on the page. Jay Gatsby is the personification of America at that time. The self made man, who is not accepted by the aristocracy. The dreamer who could not accept the reality that it could all end someday. The text is loaded with symbolism and the way it reads is close to perfect. This is a "Great American Novel."

  • The Catcher in the Rye
    • Rated 5 stars

    This is the book that started it all. Before this there were only children and adults. Salinger gave young people a voice, face, and a name "Holden Caulfield!"

  • The Bell Jar

    This is such a well written book, I can never read it again. After reading it the most beautiful day appeared to be gray.
