“Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn't carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.”

“More than any other time in history, mankind faces a crossroads. One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”

I'm working with Gravelight Press to put out 13 classic horror books with new intros starting to 2023. I'm also working on a novel and some short stories. I've written about 75% of the novel. I hope to finish a rough this summer. Gardening has been getting in the way of writing recently. :-) Thanks for asking Christopher!

Hey John, I'm using this window of time, when publishers aren't sending me books, to catch up on the backlog of books I already have waiting. I know it is hard to explain to writers the number of books I get sent a year not to mention the books that I really want to read. What I would do if I were you is find some reviewers that aren't as busy as I am. I'm sure you have written some fantastic books and I hope they find the audience they deserve.

Jeffrey,
Did you ever consider reading any of my books, I believe you would enjoy, them. A bit different from the normal todays books.
'Steady as She Goes' 'The Atlas Murders' A review from you would be so much appreciated.

James I read a lot of Pelecanos before I was ever on GR, but I did read and review his most recent book. Here is a link to the review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

Thank you kindly sir! I'm always glad to hear someone refer to their books as a library. You are welcome in mine as well! I see you are a Chatwin man as well. It reminds me that I'm long overdue to reread them so I can review them. Great to make your acquaintance!

Hi Jeffrey! :) Thank you for accepting my friend request! I am new here and just started writing reviews. I'm looking forward to reading your book reviews and recommendations.
Hi, I was looking at my piles of books that I've accumulated thinking I'd read one day, and noticed something: they are all foreign books translated into English, and many are classics. I'm not against world lit, but aren't there any interesting books originally written in English and recently published?
You're my most well-read GR friend, so can you help me with some recs? I'm interested in books that are:
* Written in English originally (not translation)
* Published, say, after 1950.
* Most interested in novels of about 50k-120k words (maybe 180-400 pages). Not that I don't read short stories or longer sagas, but I find this is a good length. And let's talk about novels, not plays, of now.
* As long as it tells a good story, I like it, although my fav is love stories (NOT romances). It's surprisingly hard to find excellent love stories, that are not shallow, not boring, not predictable.
* NO horrors, dystopian, and probably not mysteries (although I used to love Christie.)
I'd really appreciate your suggestions. ^_^
