The Internet, ain't it grand? Just joined, already addicted to this site. My reading interests include novels, history, biography, religion, science, and medicine. Real-life interests include music, flying (not current but hoping to get back), knitting, foreign languages, pets, and working out. I'm female but not attractive enough to post my... more »

  • The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
    • Rated 3 stars

    “Interesting details about the German occupation of Guernsey but I did not care for the epistolary format.”

  • Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln
    • Rated 5 stars

    “This author makes history as interesting as fiction. Abraham Lincoln's ascent from self-taught lawyer to one of our most accomplished presidents is phenomenal. It is encouraging that a person of such melancholy cast of mind can contribute so much to the world. Hope our next president takes a clue from Lincoln and includes his worthy rivals on his team.”

    • Rated 4 stars

    “Highly recommended for nonprogrammers. We can now understand why our computers freeze and crash. "Software is hard."”

  • The Constant Princess
    • Rated 0 stars

    “I listened to this as an audiobook and it piqued my interest. It served as a good prequel to "The Tudors" on Showtime. I can understand how a vibrant, sexually alive teenage could wither into a bitter, desperate, pius queen after years of disappointment. I can overlook the change in her complexion and haircolor from the book to the series, and the fact that she still retains a Spanish accent. Overall, I recommend the book and the series and will read more Gregory books. Thanks, Catsears!”

  • The Year of Jubilo: A Novel of the Civil War
    • Rated 4 stars

    “I cannot understand the popularity of Cold Mountain. This is The Civil War Novel for me. Only the ending was unsatisfying.”

  • I Know This Much Is True
    • Rated 5 stars

    “It's more than a book; it's a life! When I finished this book, I immediately went back to the beginning and read it again. Didn't want this life to end so soon. Afterwards, the next few books I read seemed pallid by comparison.”
