I listened to the BBC Radio Collection of this William Shakespeare play. I rate the performance first rate and would recommend, if you’re looking for a transport to the prose of the great, giving a listen to one of these recordings as they are well produced.

High body count on this one but no piano. If you want to enjoy a presidential coo and lots of assassins you’ll enjoy this installment of Alex Cross. Of course if you enjoy the Alex Cross series to the point that you get to book 27, then you’re familiar with the characters and can just…

Fun little book told in metaphor using Goldie Locks and various other well k own figures. If you’re struggling to write that novel that has been in your head for years but cannot get past that blank screen, this would be a great place to start. It is a book on how to outline a…

This is a quick motivational that you can find on YouTube. It is well worth 1 hour of your time to look this up and watch it. I downloaded the book but checked and it appears there are several that you can just watch online. In such a brief segment Zig Ziglar packs in both…

This is a quick little read that I would call, “Being intentional with the people around you”. Albeit I am an old married man and did not need the dating advise, all the other information is a good “people skills” refresher. I have even committed myself to giving undivided attention to my spouse as outlined.…

James Patterson thrillers are my guilty pleasure. You could have easily slid Alex Cross into this novel added a piano and it would have read the same. The only point I was really disappointed with was the hint of looking weak where others would take out the main bad guy and the poorly developed family…
