Father, husband, physician. I like books, birds, dogs, science, and some people.
I really did not care for this book. The premise of ‘The Magicians’ by Lev Grossman intrigued me. But turning Narnia/Hogwarts/Oz into a profanity-riddled, drunken, sex-crazed Bacchanalia felt cruelly blasphemous to the stories that shaped my youth. No thank you to the sequels. #booksky

Okay #booksky, I’m only a third of the way through David Copperfield, but why did I get a chill the first time I saw Uriah Heep mentioned? Why do I already know that name?!

Hey #booksky, am I the only one who decided to read David Copperfield before reading Demon Copperhead? I mean. I’m liking it so far, but it’s really long! 😬 💙📚

My happy place. Fall hikes in Colorado are the best hikes. I linger back here so I can hear the birds.

My reads for September. When the Cranes Fly South was definitely my favorite. One of the few books in recent memory that actually made me tear up. #booksky 💙📚

So I’m only 53% done with Bill Bryson’s “A Walk In The Woods.”
Had no idea there was a movie starring Robert Redford, until he recently passed and my wife mentioned it.
What are people’s thoughts on this movie? I have some of my own (good and bad) but am curious what others think. 💙📚

The FDA has banned the Heimlich Maneuver. They said “The food belongs in your throat. It is happy down there.”

Tom Homan seems like the kind of guy who would have spent his entire 50k bribe on taxidermy.

Necessary voices in these troubling times. Thank you @michaelemann.bsky.social and @peterhotezmdphd.bsky.social for this important book. Looking forward to reading it.

I’m only 50 pages in, but I’ve already decided. This book will either be 5 stars or 1 star. Based on whether the dog survives. 😬 🐶 #booksky 💙📚

My reads for August. I try to keep it diverse and eclectic. All four or five stars. The Edge of Water was probably my favorite. #booksky 💙📚

I’m only a few chapters in, but The Edge of Water by @ogracebankole.bsky.social has me completely captivated. The prose and storytelling are beautiful, heartbreaking, and infuriating all at once. So glad I picked this one up. #booksky 💙📚🖋️

Just finished this one. Five stars. I don’t generally get emotional about books, but this one actually got me teary-eyed at the end. Thank you, Monkey Pants. 🥹 #booksky
My current read. I struggled with the first few chapters, but now I can’t put it down. The author is an accomplished jazz musician, and that actually helped me connect with the prose. It’s very jazzlike in structure - syncopated and always a half-beat ahead of expectation. #booksky 💙📚🖋️

I want to read a debut novel from a new up and coming author. There are so many options! After browsing some online lists, these are the candidates I’ve chosen. Any thoughts? #booksky 💙📚🖋️

I’m only halfway through North Woods by Daniel Mason and I already want to read it again. The intricacy of how this story (stories) is (are) woven together is so beautiful. Such seemingly minor details reappear with haunting beauty. Highly recommend! #BookSky 💙📚

My current read. It’s been on our bookshelf for years; my wife read it a long time ago for a book club. I’m only at 10% and asked her opinion… “I liked it until the end and then I hated it.”
That intrigues me more. 🤯
(She says she won’t watch the Netflix show with me when I’m done.) #Booksky 💙📚
