Book Reports

Pages turn into the night when, usually, I don't get through more than a couple of pages, while reading in bed, before dropping off.

Lee Child is the reading equivalent of being addicted to "Candy Crush."

"Darwin's Doubt" opened my mind to the incredible, information rich, complexity of life, and how randomness alone may not be enough to explain it.

Citi's risk schizophrenia did not augur well, I felt, for bank's future success.

Lewis writes a paean to big government as he scores Trump for ignoring the benefit that it does.

Oliver Prince Smith, the Marine General who led his 18K troops into the Chosin Reservoir battlefield, and then, back out may be the most effective US general that you have never heard of.

The most important chapter (for me, anyway) is the last one, where Hart writes about the war's effect on the world and its future.
