March’s Featured Review
The Guardian Angel by Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. (1867)
Quote of the Month
“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.”
From “A Scandal in Bohemia” by Arthur Conan Doyle in Greatest Short Stories – Vol. IV (edited by P.F. Collier & Son) (1940)
New Book Reviews

Pride and Prejudice (1813)
Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice is one of those rare classics that will have you going back time and again to revisit your pet passages or renew your acquaintance with a favorite character.

Victory at Sea (1995)
James F. Dunnigan & Albert A. Nofi
This book represents a massive amount of research. It vividly portrays the staggering cost of war in terms of wasted resources, money and human lives.

Where is Joe Merchant? (1992)
Jimmy Buffett
I haven’t enjoyed a book this much since Pride and Prejudice. Known for such classic hit songs as Come Monday and Margaritaville, Buffett extends his Florida Keys weirdness into a novel I didn’t want to put down.
