Welcome!
I've been updating this site, sometimes often, sometimes exceedingly irregularly, since 1999. I turned it into a weblog when that was the done thing in the early 21st century before everyone ran away to social media. Now I'm just about coming round to 'blog' as a word and I'm gradually finding my way back to my own site. There are 1170 posts but the majority of them date from many years ago and may be very outdated in terms of both links and opinions.
I have always kept up with keeping my book reviews on my own site and there are now 1400 books reviewed here. Those are pretty sketchy in the early years but I've got a lot more wordy with them in recent times.
There used to be more here than that and there will be again. Beware the search bar is currently rather broken.

Alison Lurie's first adult novel, set in an New England college felt far more English than American. I'm now halfway through her books!
