Or it could be : Magic, Magic and more Magic. Interesting look at what could have happened post Arthur if he had kids.
Took a bit for me to get into it but I ended up enjoying it.

I started reading or re-reading Dick Francis's books about a year ago. This is #10 and new to me. It's a good solid Dick Francis book that I enjoyed. I'm not sure if reading these books so close together is good or not but I have enjoyed each one. It's a good who-dun-it with a deeper than expected main character. But those darned handcuffs !

Another re-read from the mid 1980's. I will admit to buying this book thinking I was clicking on what I really wanted. But went head anyway. I thought this was going to be just a good guys bad guys war story. But once you get in a bit it's much more than that. Sure there's a bunch of stuff on life flying from a carrier in Viet Nam. I liked it and will now look for more in the series. probably

Enjoyed the story and how it wound its way to the end. Lots of threads and the first time Chee and Leaphorn have worked together. There's a lot of little pieces like the cat at Chee's trailer that give this a nice flavor.

I heartily enjoyed this book. Fools, Drools, Kings, would be kings and queens, bastards and even washer wenches. Very entertaining. I don't know the story of Shakespeare's King Lear, don't think that took any enjoyment away.

For me this took awhile to get in to. Its characters and setting were a little hard for me to get straight at first. But I held on and it was worth it.

There is much going on. "peoples" rights, politics, corp greed, personalities all over the place and more. I did end up liking it and was sorry it ended. Oh forgot about romance and connections.

I very much enjoyed this gift book from the kids. The photography here is outstanding. I learned at the end of the book the process used for the big photos is "light painting". Different than traditional auto photography. There's a nice amount of text that is interesting without getting into minute details. Gives a nice view as this is foremost an Art book.

Fools, jesters, emperors and many other interesting characters live in the quite fun mystery . some history thrown in too. This is a re-read but it's been so long I didn't remember much of anything. So full enjoyment.

Very enjoyable, detailed and interesting book that follows an unexpected path of a Detective during WWII.

I don't read hardly any biographies, auto or not. Must have saw a blurb somewhere on this one. This was written by Dave during lockdown to keep from being bored. So you can hear his voice clearly. In fact I think I'll get the audio version sometime as he is the person reading it.

Hard not to know who Dave is. But how he got to today is not what I expected and he's describes the road well. I think you could say this is a kind of highlight reel but with great feeling.
I'd really like to meet his Mother. I'll leave it to you to read this and figure out why.

One of my very favorite books since I got it in 1974 or 75. Have re-read it many times. Along with "The Past Through Tomorrow". It's time to read it one more time.
It's a story of a long lifer. I'll come back when done.

I'm not sure how many times I've re-read this book since I got it in 1974 or 1975. My copy looks a bit better than the photo here except for the missing first 125 pages.
I loved this book along with "Time Enough for Love". It must be time to add these back to my want to read list here.
/had to chuckle when it tried to input a 1974 date in the Add Read Dates section. didn't like it/

Like City of Steel, I must have read this probably early 70's. Can't say I remember it at all. But I can say I really enjoyed this detective / SF / what if book. Yep, it can feel a bit 1950's in spots but that didn't bother me at all.
