We had a lot of great reviews on the old ClubReading website. And so those don’t go to waste, (and so we have some fresh content here occasionally), I’m going to post an old review now and again for your reading pleasure. Enjoy!

“Knots and Crosses” by Ian Rankin is a classic noir crime mystery, set in 1980’s Edinburgh. Ian Rankin’s recurring police detective, John Rebus makes his debut in this story about serial killing and revenge.

John Rebus is a hard-nosed, reclusive cop with a troubling past. Frequently, John’s past haunts him with nightmares and half known truths. But to solve these murders, John will have to confront those nightmares head on.

Russo’s novel is wonderful! The characters, even the minor characters are real, tangible, quirky, heartwarming and heartbreaking. His writing style is rich and engaging; his style reminds me of John Cheever, or John Updike, John somebody anyway.

Miles Roby grew up in Empire Falls, had a brief chance of escape while in college, but was drawn back because of his mother’s failing health. Now, middle aged and struggling to make ends meet, Miles runs the Empire Grill.

I don’t know the reasons, but I agree with what others have said, the show has been sliding, and Dan’s response is all class.

I would ask for more The Incomparable, Back to Work, Amplified, Build and Analyze, Hypercritical, The Ihnatko Almanac, Mac Power Users….but I can’t keep up now!

(Odd, I always assumed Roderick on the Line was on 5by5. Should be…dang funny show.)

5by5.tv has some of the best darn shows in the internet. Thanks!

The river is very calm this morning. It’s chilly (down right cold for Florida!), and the wind is still, the sky clear. It’s a beautiful morning.

Work and life have been on the stressful side lately, and the calm river is a good reminder this morning to bring the calm inside.

Like other moods or emotions, calm is infectious. Be the source of calm in your life.
