Mike Wallace has written a second memoir.

An interesting premise for a second novel by Lori Lansens called, The Girls: “The Girls, Rose and Ruby Darlen, are on their way to becoming the world's oldest surviving craniopagus twins - they are attached at the head - if they live to their 30th birthday. Abandoned at birth, they are adopted by a no-nonsense middle-aged nurse and her Slovakian-Canadian husband who try to raise them in as normal an environment as possible on a farm in southwestern Ontario.”

The Canoe reviews “San Francisco Is Burning: The Untold Story of the 1906 Earthquakes and Fires”, by Jason Smith.  It will go in my ‘maybe’ pile.

John Roderickap on “Mao: The Unknown Story”.

The French translation of the latest Harry Pothead is 120 pages longer.  120 painful pages longer, I assume.
