JIM McCRARY Lists...As He Lists His Recommendations:

[Editor's Note: Galatea Resurrects doesn't usually do lists.  But we have a soft spot for this old coot and it's still worth noting that even as he doesn't wax long on these publications, he recommends them.]



I’ve had this pile of books on my desk for a long time now.  It grows a little now and then.  Some of the books came from a reading series  here in town so I have heard the authors.  That makes a difference to me.  But not all the difference….I still crave the page.  Old me.   Some of the books are from friends.  Thank you.  And I really thought I would engage with each one of them for review…but alas here is the deadline.  So I give you this list…based on what I have heard and read…these are all books worth reading.  If you can buy them do that.  If not maybe your library or online at  Google or FB or Youtube…whatever.  And a big thanks to all these authors and the publishers who make the books and zines.  Good on ya.
