Gotham: A History of New York to 1898 |
Burrows, Edwin G. and Wallace, Mike |
Non-Fiction |
Left off on page 690, a little over half-way
through. Liked the Dutch days; dragging now in the early 1800s. |
|
|
A Model World and Other Stories |
Chabon, Michael |
Fiction |
We’ve read Chabon’s novels, The Mysteries of
Pittsburgh and Werewolf but haven’t cracked the cover on this book of
stories. |
|

|
Titan |
Chernow, Ron |
Non-Fiction |
This life of John D. Rockefeller has been sitting unopened
on the shelf of reproach since 1998. On the bright side, it’s a first edition
in perfect condition. |
|
|
Blur: The Speed of Change in the Connected Economy |
Davis, Stan and Meyer, Christopher |
Non-Fiction |
This book came highly
recommended in 1998 but we were changing too fast to slow down and read it.
Still haven’t. Maybe things have changed and it’s out of date. Somebody read
it and let me know. |
|
|
Second to None |
Garfield, Charles |
Non-fiction |
We peaked reading
Garfield’s Peak Performance and haven’t even given this book a chance. |
Second
to None : The Productive Power of Putting People First |
|
Moral Grandeur and Spiritual Audacity |
Heschel, Abraham Joshua |
Non-Fiction |
We stopped around page 250 for no good reason. This book of Rabbi Heschel’s essays was edited by his daughter, Susannah. |
|
|
Metaphysics as a Guide to
Morals |
Murdock, Iris |
Non-Fiction |
Having enjoyed many of
Murdock’s novels, this book has remained unread since around 1994. Even when
Murdock died, we didn’t pick it up. |
|
|
Accordian Crimes |
Proulx, C. Annie |
Fiction |
Really loved The Shipping
News and picked this up sometime in 1997. Sits unread, never opened. |
|
|
Kennedy |
Sorensen, Ted |
Non-Fiction |
Picked this up at a used book sale in the 1980s. Waited for a democratic president to be in office to read it, and never quite got around to it. |
|
|
The Only Guide to a Winning Investment Strategy You’ll Ever Need |
Swedroe, Larry E. |
Non-Fiction |
Known the bright author
for years, and have wanted to read this, but still haven’t gotten around to
it. |
