I’m an old, cantankerous hermit that likes to drink coffee and read good books. I do review books sometimes for fun.

Update on reading the Dark Tower series. I’m digging The Stand but I already failed in my attempt not to read more than one book at a time. I started reading Mr. Mercedes as well.

The great thing about using your local library? You get to read all the books you want without running out of space at home.

Love your public library.

Every time I go to a public library I begin to believe again that we can create amazing things that are just there for all to enjoy and use for free.

We took a much needed hiatus over the holidays and came up with an insane idea. We are going to attempt to read through “The Dark Tower” series (and all the adjacent stories) by Stephen King in 2025. You can follow our journey here: thebookraven.com

seems worth noting that a major subplot in A Christmas Carol involves Scrooge denying healthcare to his employees, and that Tiny Tim would have died had Scrooge not been shamed by ghosts into giving him coverage.

When I think of Gandalf, the first thing that comes to mind isn't battling the Balrog or facing off against the Witch-King during the Siege of Gondor. It's him at the edge of Mirkwood, grumpily telling Bilbo and the Dwarves "I am already late through bothering with you people."
