Note: this series is meant to be a summary of the books I read this past month, told in 17 syllables.
A peek at ancient
times, of foundations we think
are stone, but are wood.
The Diamond as Big as the Ritz and other stories, by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Stories well-told, but:
people wealthy and pretty,
yet petty and cruel.
The Deceiver, by Frederick Forsyth
M.I.6 reviews
Veteran spy's career,
In four great cases.
The Geography of Bliss, by Eric Weiner
Happiness, as told
country by country, some more,
some less. A fun read.
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, by Jules Verne [audiobook]
Captain Nemo: Mad?
Genius? Visionary? Cruel?
All these, and much more.
The Full Cupboard of Life, by Alexander McCall Smith
Mr. J.L.B.
Matekoni finally
gets it right in the end.
The Sign of the Four, by Arthur Conan Doyle
Secret pacts, treasure,
Poison darts and boat chases;
Watson meets his bride.

Emersons, Sethos
meet again, in disguise, and
in antiquities.
