This book is good for a nice summer’s day read at the beach or in one’s favorite hammock.  One warning, though: don’t start Pelican Point on an empty stomach.  There are so many references to seafood and some of the wonderful restaurants on the North Carolina coast that one would have to stop reading and go out to find something to eat. ]]> no@spam.com (Thomas Drinkard) https://www.bookpleasures.com/websitepublisher/articles/1003/1/Pelican-Point-A-Webb-Sawyer-Mystery--Reviewed-By-Thomas--Drinkard-Of-Bookpleasurescom/Page1.html <![CDATA[Horse Soldiers: The Extraordinary Story of a Band of US Soldiers Who Rode to Victory in Afghanistan Reviewed By Thomas Drinkard Of Bookpleasures.com]]> https://www.bookpleasures.com/websitepublisher/articles/916/1/Horse-Soldiers-The-Extraordinary-Story-of-a-Band-of-US-Soldiers-Who-Rode-to-Victory-in-Afghanistan-Reviewed-By-Thomas-Drinkard-Of-Bookpleasurescom/Page1.html

This is a superb book, told with clear language and fresh imagery. The story is even better—because it is true. It is a book that will make Americans proud of the men who call themselves “Quiet Professionals.”

I shared Certain Jeopardy with my wife, who has lived the life of a Special Forces wife. She and I agree that it is a fine work of fiction that comes quite close to reality.

 First: a word of advice to the reader.  It is not a good idea to read Vineyard Days when you are hungry and have no access to food.

Author: Lev Grossman
ISBN:978-0-670-02055-3
Publisher: Viking

One could write that The Magicians is a coming-of-age novel set in a sort of university for magicians.  It is that, but so much more.  The book follows Quentin Coldwater and several of his fellow aspiring magicians through several stages of their lives, finally achieving a dream and then finding that even then, all their desires are not fulfilled.
