Book
Bytes As a regular reviewer for Library Journal I have to put quick
little labels on books--this is terrific, this is drecchh, buy this, don't
buy this, all in 125 words or less, which is nowhere near enough space
to tell people about really wonderful books. So here are some columns I've
written about books I know and love, books that have entertained me, delighted
me, scared me, made me think, and shown me how, in an ideal world people,
treat each other.
