Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "A Bullet for Cinderella"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "A Bullet for Cinderella"
There is no reason for the selection of "A Bullet for Cinderella" over the myriad of other works by John MacDonald. That is one of the great truths about his writing. Pick a book and you will enjoy. Sure, some are better than others, but as always, the "better" lies in the mind of the reader. His works are the stuff of the best of crime fiction, of gumshoe investigators, of dark secrets, of noir novels, of hard-boiled detectives, of good and bad gone bad. These tales come with a writing...

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Story of Lucy Gault"

Hitting the Books with Gary Thorne: "The Story of Lucy Gault"
There is a silent loneliness about the history of Ireland. All the pubs and all the music and all the poems cannot remove this reality. Neither does "The Story of Lucy Gault." William Trevor is an extraordinary writer of the Irish soul. He hits the mark here. The endless battles among religions and the British is the undertone of this novel, but the story set in the 1920s and for decades thereafter is the story of a girl turned woman whose life is lost in the endless conflict. An 8-year-old,...

Orioles quizzed on "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" lyrics

Orioles quizzed on "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" lyrics
"Well, life on the farm is kinda ______-_______." You know the words! During every seventh-inning stretch, hearing John Denver's "Thank God I'm A Country Boy" is as much a part of going to an Orioles game as the hot dog race, a Boog's BBQ sandwich or a stroll down Eutaw Street. Since the players hear the song every home game, we decided to test their knowledge of the 1974 classic. Lefty Paul Fry was the first to embrace the challenge even though he's often in the zone warming up in the...
