| | What I'm reading *
I've always read. While growing up, reading was a refuge when I found life too unpleasant or stressful. Consequently I've bought a lot of books over time as well.
Now that I'm no longer in the rich corporate phase of my life I've rediscovered the library. Dayton's library may be maligned by some but is still a great resource. One type of book I like to read is gay fiction and I was surprised to see a lot of it in the Dayton library's catalog. Plus you can even ask them to buy particular titles, and they will!
Below you can see the five most recent books either that I'm reading or that I've acquired. You can search my books, or you can see all my books. Also my classes page has links back to this page for the books for each class.

Author: Berendt, John
| 2005-12-12 | 1594200580 | The City of Falling Angels | Berendt, John | | | | I very much enjoyed Berendt's earlier novel Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, made famous by the 1997 film of that name, and this novel, which shares some structural similarities, is also enjoyable. Both novels are based on actual events, this one being about the fire that destroyed Venice's Fenice opera house, but both novels are also not strictly non-fiction, featuring Berendt as an active participant in the narratives and changing some details to make for better story telling. Whether Berendt sticks to the facts or not, he does know how to write engaging books. | |
