The PolyBlog
May 2 2025
Henry Cohen’s parents were not happy that he was not married by the age of 30 and they kept telling him so. He wanted to please his parents but couldn’t meet a nice girl. In desperation, he married a goyish prostitute.  His new wife’s friends were worried because she had stopped showing up at her regular street corner, but one evening she appeared, in new clothing and fancy jewelry. Naturally, the friends were curious, and she told them how she had married a nice Jewish boy.  “What about his parents?” they asked.  She answered, “They love me. After Henry told them about us, they had a party every evening for a week. They called it shiva.”

    My reading challenge for 2026 is 63 books, which would be a little over five a month. So far, I’m on track, at least for fiction. In January, I reviewed 17 books, but only 5 of those were new reads this past month. On the other hand, my TBR pile exploded with book suggestions from … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • Book clubs 2026-02: Options for FebruaryFebruary 7, 2026
    I ended up tracking 40 book clubs for February, and 92 titles, although there are some repeats. As of one week into the month, Library Science, Native American, Oprah, PBS Book Readers, Richard and Judy, and Sunnie Reads (6 clubs) have not yet chosen a book. For the good news, looking at the clubs for … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
  • An accidental rabbit hole of book clubsFebruary 1, 2026
    Any regular reader could see that I have been prioritizing book reviews over the last month, having posted over 20 when I rarely do more than a few in a month. I’m trying to clear a large backlog by the end of the year, partly because it will also give me updated stats on how … [CLICK TO READ MORE]
