Inveterate reader, word maven, Bas Bleu, I've been reading voraciously all my life. And, much to the dismay of my family, can hardly bear to part with a book, ever! I like them near enough to touch, to whisk off the shelf when I need to remember a particular sentence or paragraph.

  • The Monster of Florence
    • Rated 3 stars

    “I'm a long time fan of serial killer stories and looked forward to this with great anticipation. However, the writing was definitely not up to par and the reality that there is conclusion to the mystery makes this a mostly unsatisfactory read.”

  • In Defense of Food
    • Rated 5 stars

    “Wow! Who would know that in 1973 by removing the "imitation" product labeling requirement included in the 1938 Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act the United States would speed down the path of "nutritionism?" This ought to be required reading for every, single American! ”

  • The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set
    • Rated 5 stars

    “I was not introduced to Tolkein until I was 18 years old and I have never been without these books since that time. If I could live anywhere, anytime, I would transport myself into the world of Tolkein.”

    • Rated 5 stars

    “My all-time, gold star winning favorite book; one that evokes the most powerful memories of my own childhood in the deep south in the early 50's and my longing for a father just like Atticus Finch.”
