The Diaries of Adam and Eve and Other Stories

1 review
Mark Twain

Dover Publications, 2008

One of the best
This is one of the funniest studies on the differences in the ways that men and women see and think of the world. Mark Twain is truly the greatest American writer and this is another one of his stories that shows why he is considered so. It is set up like two diaries, one of Adam, and one of Eve. The brilliance comes in the different writing styles between the two: Adam is more logical ...

Mark Twain

Prometheus Books, 2000

WONDERFUL!!!
If there is a shorter, funnier, more delightful book on the planet, I have yet to find it. The genius that was Twain's is in abundant evidence here. And there is no longer version, this is it. Twain only wrote "extracts from" to make it seem more believable. Notice the "translated" also? I own the PBS version with David and Meredith Baxter Birney and have watched it many times, but I still ...

Laughing and Crying
I was teaching Huck Finn to my junior class this year, and I tried getting to some of Twain's extra writings so that I'd have a little more background information to offer. This was the gem that I found. I've read plenty of Twain, and I've loved just about all of it, but Eve's Diary, especially, was something that both entertained me and moved me. It is hilarious. Eve's observations on men ...

After 4 years of crisis in Darfur, this book is a must-read
"Darfur Diaries" not only provides a clear, accurate, and understandable roadmap to the conflict in Darfur, it introduces the reader to an engaging group of Darfurians. As individual characters, they are likeable, idiosyncratic, and even humorous, despite the tragic circumstances in which they are caught. Because the authors care about the Darfurians they meet as individuals, their portrayal ...

The Road to Blue Heaven: An Insider's Diary of North Carolina's 2007 Basketball Season

Wes Miller

Pegasus Books, 2007

Very well written book by a first time author.
Who better to tell the story of the 2006-2007 North Carolina Tar Heels men's basketball team than someone who was actually on the team. There were many interesting points made about different games, players, and more insight into Wes Miller himself. The one thing I wasn't too fond of, but didn't change my liking for the book, was Miller constantly bringing up the fact that he wasn't too thrilled ...

Dilbert: 2009 Mini Wall Calendar
Scott Adams

Andrews McMeel Publishing, 2008

Wally practices work avoidance as if it's some New Age religion, Alice resorts to violent measures to relieve stress, and Dilbert remains cluelessly above it all. Throw in a boss who manages via buzzwords, and you have the main players in the favorite strip among office dwellers everywhere: Dilbert . It's a cast of characters all too familiar to most, which accounts for no small part of its amazing success. It seems that everyone knows, has ...

Eve's Diary by Mark Twain Illustrated by Lester Ralph (NoTreeBooks.com Classics)

NoTreeBooks.com, 2008

Eve's Diary by Mark Twain is the poignant, funny, and what-if tongue-in-cheek classic satire of the first couple in the Garden of Eden: how they met; their adventures in the Garden; their love; and their perplexing Mars versus Venus moments. The story has animals (with drawings) and details Eve's experiments with fire and other concepts that are new to just-created humans. A short section gives Adam's take on his understanding of this lovely ...

Amazing, This is the best book I have ever read...
This is truly one of the greatest books ever written. As a reader reads this book, he will see a young girl blossoming into a phenomenal young woman. All in the confines of her family's "Secret Annexe", while in hiding from the Gestapo, and to keep from being captured, and sent to a concentration camp. As I read this book, I felt Anne Frank was speaking to me. I felt her anger, her rebellion, ...

William Johnson's Natchez: The Ante-Bellum Diary of a Free Negro
My stepfather asked me to purchase this book for him since he did not have a computer. He read the first 400 pages within 3 days. He called me to tell me that he totally enjoyed this book and he asked me to order the book for another person(he raved so much to this person about the book). He's leaving the book to the family (once he passes on) to let each member to read and learn about Afro ...

The Warsaw Diary of Adam Czerniakow: Prelude to Doom

Adam Hilberg

Ivan R. Dee, Publisher, 1999

Worth the read--but get the background first
This is the daily diary of the man who was the head of the Judenrat (Jewish Council) in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation and most of the ghetto period. Czerniakow was misunderstood by a lot of people, and to avoid this I suggest some background reading about the ghetto first (Emanuel Ringelblum's Notes from the Warsaw Ghetto, Bogdan Wojdowski's Bread for the Departed, John Hersey's The Wall ...
