The Reading Life Year in Review - 2017 - Includes A New Feature - Most Recommended Work of the Year





Of the over 250 works I posted upon last year, for the first time, one stood out as the work I was most moved by, the one I wanted most to share with serious readers.  “The Ghetto Dog” by Isiah Spiegel is a sublime work of art.  In my link you can listen a wonderful reading by Laureen Bacall.  There are those who will read for decades and never encounter such greatness.  I know this sounds hyperbolic but experience it yourself and please leave a comment.
