  • The Death of the Oprah Dream

    November 20, 2009

    • I don’t know about most of you, but today’s announcement by Oprah Winfrey to end her syndicated television show left me empty, morose and wanting to crawl back into bed, never to surface again.

  • My favorite Bookstore

    November 4, 2009

    • In a world of cookie-cutter chain book stores, it is so nice that there are still stores that display their books so that readers can enjoy the hunt! Shakespeare and Co in Paris, France is one of these treasured stores that celebrate books in their true form. They do not buy into the marketing tricks of some book stores that are only interested in profits. I go out of my way to find small ...

    • October 29, 2009       The Book on the Shelf   I love to read; my bookshelves are crammed tight. However, there is one book that I avoided even glancing at, even though I had several copies.
