Book 27: The Book on Rental Property Investing:

The Audible is read by the author who is very enthusiastic, but rough. It is by far the worst job of audio editing I have encountered.

The book is quite basic but does have some useful information. I struggle with investment advice from people who hardly seem old enough to have experienced down turns (plural). I am just not one of interested in biographical tales from the under 40 crowd…

Book 21. A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles

It is rare that I complete a book that moves this slowly. But the language, the descriptions, the microscopic examination of the subplots are all nothing short of adorable. This book is a very pleasant read from cover to cover, even though the action really only begins about 85% of the way through the book.

Book 11. The Omnivore’s Dilemma.

What should we have for dinner? For omnivore's like ourselves, this simple question has always posed a dilemma: When you can eat just about anything nature (or the supermarket) has to offer, deciding what you should eat will inevitably stir anxiety, especially when some of the foods on offer might shorten your life. Today, buffeted by one food fad after another, America is suffering from what can only be described as a national eating disorder.

Book 10. Champagne for One (Nero Wolfe #31)

It is said that Agatha Christie used to go to her library and ask if there are any new “Archie Goodwin Novels.” To which the librarian would reply, actually they are referred to as “Nero Wolfe” novels. To which Christie would replay “Nonsense. Everybody knows Archie does all the work.”

Book 9. Gambit (Nero Wolfe #37)

His narrative and dialogue could not be improved, and he passes the supreme test of being re-readable. I don't know how many times I have reread the Wolfe stories, but plenty. I know exactly what is coming and how it is all going to end, but it doesn't matter. That's writing.

P.G. Wodehouse,
