Graham Greene said this was Highsmith’s finest. He would - it’s a Graham Greene novel! It could be a forgery of a Greene book. Lots of fun. Read it!

The late Neil Postman continues to be an important cultural critic. I would have loved to see what he would have said about social media. He spotted many of its baleful effects before it existed. Read this!

Outstanding. After reading King Leopold’s Ghost, I had high hopes for this book. It exceeded my expectations. This is a frighteningly good book b

A wonderful story I just can’t quite crack. I’ve read it again and again. It was the first GG I’d read, in that 99 cent Penguin paperback series that included all those small samples, like tiny boxes of liqueurs, little taste tests that thrilled and left one forever addicted.

This is one of the best albums ever recorded. The songs were written by Jimmy Webb, who also produced the sessions. Go to YouTube and listen to “Everybody’s Going to the Moon,” a song that will be back in fashion when this year’s NASA astronauts take off for their return trip. The cover is beautiful, the songs are excellent. I played this album to pieces when I was a young DJ in Arroyo Grande, California in 1970. If you buy it, you won’t regret it. It is an overlooked treasure that should never be forgotten.
