|
One book is on its way back to the Rose Garden branch of the San Jose library, after having been read and reviewed (Michael Holley Smith's " Bioblogs " -- the author seems to have liked my review). Another arrived in the mail, Robert Thurman's "Why The Dalai Lama......Read More

What's In My Bookbag, July 24th, 2009
|

On Teach Yourself Blogging by McBride and Cason
|
Some books, like blogs, go from inception to published review before hardly settling into my book bag. Just like stones skipped across the surface of a river, they just skip the surface and bounce on their way. This was a very quick read. I just checked it out within the last 24......Read More

We are having an unusual heatwave in Santa Clara, after just having had unusually cold weather for summer. Lacking air conditioning, I went to my favorite place nearby which does have it -- the Santa Clara public library yesterday afternoon. The Olympic pool nearby was filed with......Read More

Mea Culpa - What Is Actually on Page 103
|
Earlier I made reference to a passage of disputed authorship to be from Joshua Harris' " I Kissed Dating Goodbye " on page 103.
