    Magnificence A Novel by Lydia Millet
    Ronald B Gould, December 30, 2014
    This was my first read of a Lydia Millet novel but I can see why she has been a finalist for The Pulitzer Prize, not once but twice. She has a very captivating and tight writing style, with just enough but not too much detail. Magnificence ranges wide but over a fairly short period of time. There is death, that she takes credit for, and rebirth that she allows to happen in her daughter after her accident. Its a very good read and most will not see how it will end, although it is not a mystery. Just a very well written book. Enjoy!

    & the Dark Sacred Night A Novel by Julia Glass
    Ronald B Gould, June 26, 2014
    As with "Three Junes" and "I see you Everywhere", Julia Glass's newest book "And the Dark and Sacred Night" is sure to be a national award winner. And there are even some cross-over characters between "Three Junes" and "Dark and Sacred Night". Her writing style is just captivating and she leaves no stones unturned.

    Kindred Beings What 73 Chimpanzees Taught Me About Life Love & Connection by Sheri Speede
    Ronald B Gould, January 13, 2014
    My bad. Edmund Stone is not on OPB. He is key to All Classical Portland (www.thescore.org). Sorry for the error. And the book is still great.

    Kindred Beings What 73 Chimpanzees Taught Me About Life Love & Connection by Sheri Speede
    Ronald B Gould, January 13, 2014
    Kindred Beings is one of the best reads I have had in the past 15 years. Dr. Speede finds a way to connect you to the world of chimpanzees and literally talk about life, love and connection. Be prepared to cry through the second half of the book. And she now spends half of the year back in Portland, Oregon. For those of you who enjoy Oregon Public Radio, find yourself also connected to Edmund Stone, Host and Producer of "The Score". He and several other people are key to the success of Sheri Speede's colorful memoir. Enjoy!

    Criminal A Novel by Karin Slaughter
    Ronald B Gould, January 01, 2013
    Karin Slaughter comes through again. Starting with Undone, through Broken and Fallen, she ends with Criminal. These people are tough and they started from the bottom to rise to every occasion. This is a character developed cops and robbers, with many twists and turns. Enjoy the read(s).

    Gold by Chris Cleave
    Ronald B Gould, August 09, 2012
    This is the first novel I have read by Chris Cleave, and it was nothing but outstanding. He tells a very good story that is tightly written with many forward and backward looks. His characters are all believable and range from the young daughter to the old and frail coach. He also is a great Star Wars fan and channels his expertise of the various characters through the daughter. You will absolutely enjoy the read. It is also quite contemporary with the main objective being the 2012 Olympics.

    Lives Other Than My Own by Emmanuel Carrere and Emmanuel Carrre
    Ronald B Gould, January 01, 2012
    A novel, but what a great read. The story is told so well, that it is like it really happened. Emmanuel Carrere is an outstanding French author and the translation is excellent. I would recommend this book to anyone that really enjoys a personalized story, told in the first person.
