Alright everybody - I have 20 books to go by the end of the year to achieve my updated 2019 reading goal (at first I wanted to read 50 - now I want to read 100!!).

Interesting dystopian version of the future, though I could have done without some of the language. It definitely makes you consider how you spend your time. I also appreciate how it describes literature as a means of transferring knowle...
Roger Ebert is a talented writer with a candid, casual and yet surprisingly introspective style that makes for easy reading. While I really enjoyed some of the parts about his early life, career in film criticism, his loyalty to the Chic...
