About

I have had many people ask me what I’ve been reading, and so I decided to create this blog.  I find it very useful to put a few thoughts down on paper about a book I’ve just read, forcing me to digest the book and its message and intent, before moving on to my next book.  So I write this blog largely for myself, but perhaps (and I hope) others may find my impressions of interest.  I may even inspire others to read (or not read) some of the books I have read.  I also hope to get some comments.

The blog itself is simply reviews of the books I read in the order that I write them.  The tabs on the blog list the books with hot link to the reviews, broken down into Literature (most of what I read) and others (biography, pol mil, etc) and Business and Leadership -which I read as part of my professional education.

Links to my other sites, both of which link to this site: Fifth Factor Leadership – my professional website, and Bob’s Corner where I post essays on topics that interest me.

    What is the purpose of reading a gazillion books? Stop. Because less is really more. How about simply re-reading the best of them? But, before you stop reading the endless stream of books, you might want to read this first… 🙂

    It’s the mother of all…hmmm…. philosophy books?

    hey bob – what book did Doig (or was it someone else ?)write that had an exerpt about 2 brothers having a scrap and the damage done remains like having a shattered arm bone that must always be tip-toed around ?

      I don’t recall that. If it were Doig, it might be Dancing at the Rascal Fair – my favorite of the 5 Doig books I read. That one is mostly about the protagonist’s life-long love for a woman he couldn’t marry, but there may have been a brother piece in there as well.

    Hello Bob,

    I hope that you are well.

    Just wondered please if you might take a look at my latest novel, now available on Amazon in both electronic format but also in paperback.

    THE ITALIAN TRAP
    ________________

    ITALY April 1945
    _____________

    Special Operations Executive have decided to send in their most successful agent, in order to secure the arrest of Il Duce.
    Mussolini is a wanted man.
    S.O.E. want him to stand trial for crimes against humanity… but many others have a different agenda.

    It’s a captivating story, only a handful of people know the actual truth, and numerous individuals claim to have delivered the final blow.

    Please if you will… grab a copy.

    It’s free to download an electronic copy from Amazon tomorrow, on Monday, 21st, February, 2022.

    Thank you so much for your time.
    Kind Regards
    Keith.

    PS.- If you would like like any other information about this or any of my other books, then please just drop me a line.
