One comment I hear a lot is that it is so hard to find English language books in Panama. I guess it has been a while since I have posted anything about the BOOKMARK in Dolega. By far, this may be the best place in Panama to find English reading material
One of these days, I [...]

I just don’t like doing things half way. If I am going to do something, I want to do it as well as I can. I don’t care what it is, I just don’t care for mediocre. So when my neighbor convinced me to try my hand at bridge again, I knew I would eventually [...]

On my way back from Boquete on Tuesday, I stopped at the Bookmark in Boquete to see Hal. If you don’t know about the BOOKMARK, you must not read buy many English language books in Chiriquí. Hal has the largest selection in Chiriquí and most likely in all of Panama.
Here is a photo of one [...]

Wow. Obama has already started having an effect in Chiriquí, specifically Dolega. Apparently he has inspired the Bookmark to do some housecleaning. On your way, to or from Boquete, why not stop in and help Hal get rid of some of the books and so he will have room for others.

I stopped in the BookMark yesterday to visit with Hal. He is cleaning house and it is a good time to get some books. Hal still has the best book repository in Chiriquí.

I just ran across an interesting post on the BOOKMARK’s blog, describing how the BOOKMARK came into being. Myself, being but a mere apprentice Curmudgeon, I have to bow to what Hal has accomplished and to the joy he has made in many gringo’s lives that have moved to Chiriquí.
If you want to read about [...]

Today is December the first. This year has gone by so fast! But as they say, time flies when you are having fun.
Today, I drove up to Dolega to visit Hal at the BOOKMARK.

I stopped in at the BOOKMARK, in Dolega, this morning to visit with Hal. He said, in November, he is going to have a special on health and finance books. He has the information posted on his BOOKMARK web site.
When I need a book to read, I am never disappointed by going to Hal’s BOOKMARK. [...]
