Jim Harrison

Grove Press, 2008

thoroughly enjoyable--but not as deep as some of his other work
With Jim Harrison, you always know that you'll be reading something that is well off the beaten track, so to speak. He writes for himself, not to please a segment of the population. With most of his work, you feel that you're getting deep within a person's soul. The English Major is a bit more "escapist" than some of his deeper and darker (in the sense of unsettling, not supernatural, although ...

Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies

Jared M. Diamond

W. W. Norton & Company, 1999

Exactly the answers I wanted in twice the length I needed
I'd wondered for a long time why certain aspects of history that you learn as facts in school turned out the way they did, e.g. why European diseases basically wiped out Native Americans but not vice-versa. I bought the book because I heard that Jared Diamond answered these types of questions. He does, to an extent. At the very least, he gives convincing arguments for why history turned out the ...

As I Lay Dying

William Faulkner

Vintage, 1991

Homegoing
One of the most important writers of the twentieth century in any country, William Faulkner could tell a rousing tale. Check your collective memory. You're sitting around the campfire and the the storyteller begins. When it is Faulkner, expect the unexpected. As I Lay Dying. As Dead I Am Carried to My Homeplace. The first sentence: "Jewel and I come up from the field, following the path in ...

Geometry

Houghton Mifflin McDougall Littell, 2000

I love this book
I have taught Honors and College Prep Geometry with this book (and its previous edition) for sixteen years. This year I tried a different book with one of my classes. I am begging to go back to this book. This book does not have all the 'bells and whistles' of new Geometry textbooks. It doesn't need them. My new textbook has powerpoint presentations, lesson planners, CD ROM testbanks, etc. ...

The Clique Summer Collection #5: Claire (Clique Series)

1 review

Poppy, 2008

Courtesy of Teens Read Too
Sadly, this is the last book in the fabulous CLIQUE SUMMER COLLECTION series. It really ends with a bang, however! Claire is back in Florida with her old best friends, and then Massie shows up. How can Claire handle having a group of friends that are not as popular as she is now, and Massie (who makes Westchester look like a snob town) in the same place? And on top of all that, Claire is ...

End of Days: Predictions and Prophecies About the End of the World

Sylvia Browne

Dutton Adult, 2008

Very Timely-Well Researched
This is my first Sylvia Browne book. It is a very level-headed book about a very serious topic. She did her homework. She describes the 'end times' beliefs of all religions and even Native American beliefs. I have only seen her on TV once, and that was with other psychics on The Larry King Show. I am confused because in this book she talks about going to Catholic School, and yet, on Larry King ...

Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine, 17th Edition (Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine)

16 reviews
Anthony S. Fauci, Eugene Braunwald, ...

McGraw-Hill Professional, 2008

A suggestion for a great book
This is an exceptional book. The level of coverage on any given topic is often 'the final authority' when other books don't have the answers. I have a considerably older version of this book circa 1978 or so and decided to update my resources for a recertification exam. While this served as an excellent reference, I did find the information cumbersome to find, with the extensive index often ...

Invisible Man

Ralph Ellison

Vintage, 1995

Completely Unique
Invisible Man / 0-679-73276-4 Ellison's master work is breathtaking, indescribable, and completely unique. This long and careful allegory of the young black man making his way through the white world is filled with passages so crammed with myth and meaning that the closest comparison I can make is to Rushdie's carefully disjointed Satanic Verses. Simple incidents, such as Mr. Norton's ...

Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History

Art Spiegelman

Pantheon, 1986

Masterpiece
i was one of the few among my peers who had never read one of the Maus books. When i finally got around to it, i was blown away by its excellence. This is a masterpiece (and i do not use the term lightly). Do yourself a favor and don't miss it.

Very fun!
I really enjoyed this book. I thought her stories were frank and real. And she knows what details are best left private!!!

The Clique Summer Collection #4:Kristen (Cli Series)

4 reviews

Poppy, 2008

A wicked good time
As a member of the exclusive Pretty Committee clique, Kristen Gregory is popular (times 10), stylish, snobby, fake-rich and insecure. But she has a secret that even her PC friends don't know. Her biggest secret is also her salvation and a source of joy. Kristen belongs to the Witty Committee, a group of intellectually gifted students who assemble via their PCs and role play as the gifted person ...

Anna Quindlen

Delta, 2000

Black and Blue with flying colors
Anna Quindlen - a literary treasure of our time. The book tells the story of an abused woman who has had enough and runs away from her husband, a police officer. She takes her son with her. She coincidentally finds an organization that helps women like herself to start a new life - an organization that claims that their program is more efficient than the witness protection program. The ...

Fahrenheit 451: A Novel

Ray Bradbury

Simon & Schuster, 2003

Fahrenheit 451 probably one of the most important books written
A standard in the dystopian utopia that Brave New World and 1984 also capture, this is the third in a triad of phenomenal dystopian books written that everyone should read. While banned in some jurisdictions, the idea of book burning and reading being illegal is still a serious issue. We ban books in our library systems, and in our schools. While we do not burn books on a regular basis, the ...

The Outlaw Demon Wails (Rachel Morgan, Book 6)

Eos, 2008

Leaves me wanting another..
I've fallen in love with the Rachel Morgan series. I'm not going to recap the book (that's been done many times over). I like the dynamics between Rachel and Trent. This book got into more of Rachel's past and where she came from. I was really hoping that the mystery of Kisten's death would have been solved but it was not. I enjoyed learning more about the underworld. Overall, this book was ...

The Clique Summer Collection #1: Massie (Clique Series)

Poppy, 2008

A fun, breezy summer read
While trying to put seventh grade behind her --- and with her Pretty Committee friends spending their vacations elsewhere --- Massie Block has big summer plans of her own. As team captain of the Galwaugh Goddesses (aka the Galwaugh Girls) at the uber-exclusive Westchester sleepaway riding camp, Massie will do whatever it takes to come out on top. At stake: winning the sixth consecutive Galwaugh ...

Joseph Prince

Harrison House, 2007

Set Free by the person of Grace, Jesus Christ
The Bible tells us to be bold, be strong, for the Lord our God is with us. I watch Joseph Prince everyday on family channel so I get to hear him 5 days a week. His teaching is revalent and he puts no burdens or guilt on anyone. His message is about God's Grace which is the person of Jesus Christ. God has called this very humble servant to teach His church about Grace. I believe Joseph Prince ...

A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam

196 reviews
Karen Armstrong

Ballantine Books, 1994

A must own for any serious historian
What I love and respect about the author, is how she is open minded and honest enough to challenge the reader to think outside their comfort zone and all they have been taught to believe based on faith and not a serious study of history and how religion whatever the belief system, is something that has evolved and changed over the centuries. She challenges the reader to study and dissect myth ...

Kim Harrison

Eos, 2004

Great start to a series - gimme more!
I am completely enthralled by this series! Yes, I know I've only read the first book. And yes, I know that a lot of it is pretty... well, cheesy. I admit this. But it's also a lot of fun. The characters are great, Rachael is really likeable, and it's been awhile since I read a book of this nature that didn't rely on romance (and, you know...) to carry it. And that was more of a relief than ...
