I went through all the old newspapers online in San Francisco , found an old unknown picture, his real name and dob.
He was born Thomas Callaghan in 1871 not 81..

Comment on Regional Book Store Review: Bay Area Free Book Exchange (El Cerrito) by Rich Wilkins

We should keep in mind that this is a for profit business, not a non-profit. In addition, this business can’t be a happy event for local libraries. While Mr. Miles and partner make a profit off the books that they sell on ebay, our libraries are going to see fewer donations to their book sales. And this comes at a time when libraries are already struggling, because of funding cutbacks. I’d rather see the proceeds go to the libraries. Rich W, Albany

Couldn’t agree more. Not surprised to hear Hiaasen enjoyed it considering most of his writing takes place in Florida as well…

I picked this up because Carl Hiaasen gave it a glowing review on Amazon. I didn’t care for it. I thought the plot was thin and the book was thick (as in too long).

Comment on Sex on the Moon by Ben Mezrich by Brianna

I am a big non-fiction fan. I have this book on reserve at the library. I’m chagrined that I thought the Social Network was based on the book, “The Facebook Effect”. It could have been as the facts and portrayal of MZ was that similar. Since I’m fascinated with him and his creation (even though I hate Facebook and never use it), I’ll have to put “The Accidental Billionaires” on my reading list, too!

I loved this book. Fawacett made Indiana Jones look like a wimp. As I read this I wondered if there are still people like this or are we so softened by civilization that the mold has been broken.

And I enjoyed Eat, Pray, Love, too.
