Tuesday Evening Book Reviews

Feeling old?  Getting old?  There’s book for, by, and about you (and your wizened kind) and USA TODAY profiles a few of them here.

Photosynthesis explained just as amazing as it is, is what Oliver Morton’s managed in EATING THE SUN.

A fortifying deep breath may be needed before cracking into THE WAR BEHIND ME: VIETNAM VETERANS CONFRONT THE TRUTH ABOUT U.S. WAR CRIMES: INSIDE THE ARMY’S SECRET ARCHIVE OF INVESTIGATIONS, by Deborah Nelson.

Political history on an intimate scale is examined in SAVING SAVANNAH: THE CITY AND THE CIVIL WAR, by  JACQUELINE JONES.

    “Feeling old? Getting old?”

    i was reading books back when they were called “old men talking by the campfire”. i’m so old i read garcia marquez’s “one hundred years of solitude” because i was feeling nostalgic. i’m so old i remember telling a young shakespeare to get the hell off my lawn.

    and so on…
