Blitzed: Drugs in the Third Reich by Norman Ohler

March 10, 2022 by Halbs 2 Comments

One of the weirdest things that’s happened to me as an adult is that I’ve learned how fluid “history” can be. Growing up, my understanding of the concept of history was that smart people figured out what happened, and they told us, and that was it. In college books like Lies My Teacher Told Me and A People’s History of the United States opened up my thinking to the idea that any narrative (historical or otherwise) comes from a point of view and has a […]

Bloody tango steps in Sweden

The Return of the Dancing Master by Henning Mankell

August 19, 2021 by Singsonggirl Leave a Comment

This is the fave thriller of a friend of mine, I found it on one of the free bookshelves around town and gave it a try. I read quite a few of the Wallander cases as a teen, but I mostly only remember the gory violence and not much else. While not a Wallander case, this definitely doesn’t disappoint either when it comes to cruel ways to die. A former police man is found flogged to death in his house somewhere in the Swedish boondocks, […]

Madge has been separated from her siblings as a result of her father’s overwhelming grief over her mother’s passing and all she […]

Unaccompanied Minors, side of Nazis

The Adventurous Four by Enid Blyton

In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank

December 31, 2019 by ardaigle 2 Comments

This is it. The last review of my cannonball! And what a book I have chosen to go out on. A friend of mine, seeing on Goodreads that I was edging toward my reading goal for the year, reached out to me with some graphic novel suggestions that I could tackle quickly to get across the finish line. It was great to have her support, and her endorsement that graphic novels “do count” which, of course they do! One of her suggestions was the graphic […]

The Ghosts of Anti-Semitism Haunt Holland Through Soccer

Ajax, The Dutch, The War by Simon Kuper

August 4, 2018 by Jake 2 Comments

Read for Cannonball Run Bingo. Category: White Whale. The World Cup was on this past summer and anytime I see it, I’m inclined to read more books about soccer. I’m a big sports fan but my interest in soccer really only begun about 12 years ago when, bored out of my mind for the summer of 2006, I watched the World Cup fastidiously. Soccer is now perhaps my fourth favorite sport after baseball, football, and basketball and I’m wearing a New York City FC shirt […]
