Books
Reading has provided me with one of the central pleasures of my life. While I have kept reading journals off and on through the years, I have never tried to organize my thoughts about each book I read. These small reviews suggest the breadth of my reading as well as its haphazard nature. History, Novels, Sports, Contemporary culture, politics and economics seem to flow side by side through my reading. This is a series of reviews beginning with my reading in 2003. While I may move backwards through some of my favorite works, I may not. I invite your responses and thoughts about books we have shared as well as your recommendations for books I have missed and might enjoy. Contact me at: tlehmann@earthlink.net
