Book: The Dragon Scroll
ByjevlirI like historical mysteries, so I was fairly interested in trying this one, a mystery of ancient Japan, even though I have no acquaintance with Japanese history. In general, however, the book was a disappointment. I found the writing not too terribly engaging. It was simply a series of episodes set end to end. I…
Book: Raining Cats and Dogs

I might well credit…

(I worked together with Laura in forming the Philophronos Blogroll which can be seen on my threads blog. This is my “fun” blog.) To a large extent I think the difference in people’s reactions to…
