Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Such a nice story about a woman caught up in the madness of a busy life let alone as the pandemic sets in, and she discovers a baby hare outside her getaway cabin. As the hare transforms, so does she but in a such perfect unsentimental way. I learned much from this!

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: this is an outstanding novel! Now only is it such an interesting deep real look inside a Jewish family but also a look at the tragic history of Judaism and its persecution and how the two in modern society mix. But it is also a good ghost story. Loved this book!

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: I finished it and while a difficult read for a relatively uneducated person like me in this subject, I loved this book and learned so much not just about Goethe but German history all seen through the creations of a lifelong endeavor to write Faust. Brilliant.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Drummer legend Neal Peart of Rush lost his 19 year old daughter in a car crash and wife to cancer one year later. How can one carry on is the question as he alone travels Canada America and Mexico on his motorcycle. We ride with his agony. The journey moved me deeply.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Though poorly or amateurishly written, if you’re a deep Tigers fan and were around for 84 championship season, this book is right for you. And me. Lots of fairly interesting insight, nothing earth-shattering, just a good tale about a happy time.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: A mid life crisis strikes, this married woman and she leaves for a two week drive cross country but makes it only a few miles from home and stays at a motel. All kinds of twist and turns, regardless. This is a great American novel in my opinion. Loved it! Sexy too.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: very good memoir. Very little about the “Geils band” when Peter Wolf is the lead singer. Dumped him, big mistake. But what a life! Zelig-like. Married to Faye Dunaway. What? Great friends of Hooker and other legendary musicians with wonderful insight into those lives.

Thanks a lot Trump and Republicans! And thanks for the add on of the largest tax increase in U.S. history- the tariffs. Really making my life better.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Other Mother begins to visit a little girl in a somewhat troubled family. First from the closet then bedroom then mayhem everywhere! This is a very scary Exorcist-like story. I loved it because the author is also from Michigan. Very well told and very scary!

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: a beautiful journey across the Earth with rivers. Unafraid to literally ask is a river alive? He allows native peoples and the landscape and creatures in and out of the rivers to give us the answer on their own terms. A river is as alive as us all. Love this book.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: what a great summer read and phenomenal write! I entered expecting a space story but found instead a beautifully woven love story and journey of women across generations. But a page turner too and there is an exciting space story. A perfect book. I cried on last page.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Deep zen philosophical book as astronauts and cosmonauts circle the Earth in the crammed ISS for a year or more. While there are stunning scenes to their external look below at the planet, the main viewpoint is from their introspection as people.
Left me thinking.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: what a quirky, dazzling strange romp through early 1970s NYC! An uninhibited couple match up and well their sex life is somewhat like a pro wrestling match. So naturally, the female joins the pro wrestling circuit. So many authentic characters come and go. Wonderful.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: loved this book. Based on a true story, follows the journey of two African giraffes the first to ever land in the U.S. in late 1930s by boat to NYC by truck with no interstates to San Diego. A look into rural life of America at that time and into human/animal loyalty

Lizard King’s Book of the week: A whole other world was opened up to me through this book. Night. The critical nature and magic of darkness. So under appreciated from so many perspectives- so alive with amazing creatures invisible to us because we fear to look. Darkness defines light. Many lessons.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Franzen is in a most elite American novelist category. I’ve read all his books including his recent Crossroads which is brilliant. But never his first until now. A classic as he dissects the most complicated brutal yet essential human attribute we have- the family.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: ok, I have a weakness for rock memoirs. Thurston Moore, Keith Richards, Elton John, Patti Smith- outstanding, others, eh, familiar war stories. This brief and lovely memoir reveals life long relationship of loving brothers- and the band along for the ride. Wonderful!

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: a perfect read after I read Two-Step Devil, this terrific story follows a group of young teenage girls in the tumult of the early 70s who are pregnant and placed in secure facilities forced to have their baby which is then adopted. But a coven appears! Great book.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: this is a very strange, mysterious wonderfully written story about mystical old man with a young woman who has her own and important mysteries that become gut wrenching from an oppressed female perspective. Beautifully intertwined and one in a universe of magic.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: finally got to this legendary book and it did not disappoint. Introduces indigenous concepts such as reciprocity, gratitude, abundance and natural spirituality to realign humanity with the Earth as a way of surviving climate change and other ills of modern society.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: Exceptional writing understatement here. The dreary small town life on Irish coast 1962 where it always rains. Yet the generations of souls make a go of it. Story centers around a woman and her father doctor who discovers an abandoned baby at Christmas time. Magical.

Lizard King’s Book of the Week: I absolutely fell in love with this book during and long after I closed her. I cried several times while reading. It’s quiet contemplation, yet with plot, connecting past present and future through devotion and skepticism, was real and so perfectly moving. Love this.
