I have a barn full of books, perhaps a thousand, most likely more. From Asimov to Zane Grey. I have neither the time nor inclination to review them, but in keeping with the cybersphere’s response to the decline in book reviews by the mainstream press, I’ll share my reads for July and August. Bear in mind this is over and above my two to three hour daily online read, three hardcopy daily newspapers and five weekly magazines.
