  • Turnabout: The ol’ switcheroo
    August 18, 2022 by Sandy Ferber
    Turnabout by Thorne Smith  It has been a good number of years since I last read Thorne Smith’s ribald fantasy classic entitled The Night Life of the Gods (1931), but I can still recall how thoroughly enjoyable and hilarious the book was for me. In this wonderful romp, a NYC-based scientist, Hunter Hawk, invents a […]
  • WWWednesday: August 17, 2022
    August 17, 2022 by Marion Deeds
    Salman Rushdie was taken off a ventilator on Sunday, and was able to speak. A lone attacker stabbed Rushdie at an event in New York state on Friday. Hadi Matar, the alleged attacker, has pled not guilt to charges of attempted murder. Rushdie is probably best known for The Satanic Verses and Midnight’s Children. Voices […]
  • Fevered Star: A somewhat slower pace through a richly constructed world
    August 16, 2022 by Bill Capossere
    Reposting to include Marion’s new review. Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse  Fevered Star (2022) is the follow-up to Rebecca Roanhorse’s enjoyably original Black Sun, set in a fantastical Mesoamerica (with a few other cultures mixed in as well). As the second book, it does suffer somewhat from that dreaded middle book curse, but Roanhorse offers […]

  • WWWednesday: Morbius the Movie
    August 10, 2022 by Marion Deeds
    [Reposted from Deedsandwords.com with permission.] I paid #3.99 to watch Morbius. The price was about right. I don’t know the character from the comic books, but I’d seen a few articles and reviews so I knew that a doctor turned into a super-vampire. Michael Morbius has a rare genetic condition that leaves him weak and […]
  • The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us
    August 10, 2022 by Bill Capossere
    The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs to Us by Steve Brusatte 2022 has been a banner year for me in terms of non-fiction reading, and that trend continues with The Rise and Reign of the Mammals: A New History, from the Shadow of the Dinosaurs […]
