Mr. Burke Reviews

New Columns Coming Work and other writing projects, and just decisions on things to review, have kept me from my hoped-for weekly schedule. Not that anyone is following this blog yet.

Sometimes, I've forgotten I've read entire books (to be fair, they were forgettable books, most likely). So I created Mr. Burke Reads , mostly to help my memory, but sometimes they read like reviews because people stumble upon the blog through search engines or the like. A couple years before my 50th birthday (yes, I'm old), I s
