Looking for a good read? I write a weekly book review (well, almost weekly) for The Daily News of Galveston County. (Formerly the Galveston County Daily News) My one rule in choosing the books I review? They have to be worth reading. I may not always agree with the author, but I think the author has presented something worth thinking about or worth knowing. So the next time you are looking for a book to read, you might try one of these.
The link takes you to my Daily News of Galveston County reviews. If I have reviews for other publications online, I will link those, too. I update this page every time a new DNGC review is published, so check back every Monday.
