Welcome to my commonplace blog

The goal of this blog is to preserve a few ideas and quotes from books I read. In the old days when books were not so readily available, people kept "commonplace books" where they copied choice passages they wanted to be able to remember and perhaps reuse. The idea got picked up by V.F.D. and it's common knowledge that most of that organization's volunteers have kept commonplace books, and so have Laura and I.

I'm sure there are many other Internet sites and blogs dedicated to the same idea. But this one is mine. Feel free to look around and leave comments, but not spam.

You Have To Stop This (Pseudonymous Bosch)

The "secret" series comes to an end with an unexpectedly strong conclusion, IMHO every bit as good as the first one ("The Name Of This Book Is Secret"). Questions of the meaning of life, friendship, growing up, intermingle in a very interesting book which i found very difficult to put down. Is the ultimate secret the final answer or just another question? Is the end just another beginning? Well done, PB!
