DWD: I'm a native Hoosier, a secondary teacher with licenses to teach Spanish, United States history, world history, government and economics. I've reviewed hundreds of books, songs, albums, movies, tech, gadgets and gizmos over the years. My tastes are wide-ranging and include histories, thrillers, mysteries, biographies, political commentaries, a bit of sci-fi, a few westerns and even graphic novels. I was a contributor to SFsite.com before it went defunct.

"We are of opinion that instead of letting books grow moldy behind an iron grating, far from the vulgar gaze, it is better to let them wear out by being read." - Jules Verne
