Friday's "Forgotten" Books and More: the links to the reviews, 15 March 2019 (the Ides)

This week's books and more, unfairly (or sometimes fairly) neglected, or simply those the reviewers below think you might find of some interest (or, infrequently, you should be warned away from); certainly, most weeks we have a few not at all forgotten titles...if I've missed your review or someone else's, please let me know in comments...as we face small trials (Facebook for a day was removing all the links to my blog) or much larger ones (and sparing a thought for former FFB contributor Richard Wheeler, who died in February, and the people killed and terrorized in the events in Christchurch, New Zealand, over the last day).

I hadn't heard of Richard Wheeler's death. He was an extremely talented writer.

Nor had I till I read Ben Boulden's post. He was, as Boulden notes, prone to long "silences" in social media. Apparently he was a long-time friend of Margot Kidder's, something else I might envy him.

Your review inspired me to "friend" F. Paul Wilson on Fb, after a few communications on Twitter.
