Feminism and Christianity are incompatible. That's according to Rachel Wilson in her book Occult Feminism: The Secret History of Women's Liberation (2021). I think that is perhaps The Great Debate.

The Infinite Jest: Now More Than Ever
Back in 2013, I think it was, I joined an online reading group to read Infinite Jest. David Foster Wallace's 1996 novel that blew the minds of readers and critics alike. It's still doing that!

The Sun Also Rises: a review 2025
AS one thing leads to another I decided to re-read Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises, written some 100 years ago. In some ways it is terrible writing, in others, amazing.

The BASEBALL 100 is a book by Joe Posnanski, my brother's favorite baseball writer. Brother Jack gifted me the book last Christmas.
