The English Patient 287 reviews
Michael Ondaatje
Vintage, 1993
I loved it.
This book was given to me on an airplane and I read it because I had nothing else to read. I had seen the movie and thought it was OK. The book however, I absolutly loved. The movie focused primarily on the English Patient, but the book was different in that you got to know each character quite intimately. They all were in the house for different reasons and each of them had very unique and ...

The English Patient-Rack Size 333 reviews
Michael Ondaatje
Vintage, 1993
This movie drove me to go out and devour the book & meet the characters whom the author truly intended to introduce.
At the risk of sounding snobbish, I won't typically invest my time on entertainment which is focused on adultery. It's just one of a variety of subjects which maybe I wish to distance myself from being emotionally involved in someone else's self-destructive behavior. That said, I don't shun the many artistic expressions which skirt about the intrigues of illicit romance to bring a viewer, a ...

My preceptor handed me this book and by the end i was able to circulate and scrub on minor cases with complete ...

I am undergoing some really rough chemo treatments. Round 1 chemo left me achy and pretty much in bed for most of a week. My doctor told me there was nothing they could do for the fatigue. I looked at Dr. Blaylock's book and he recommended a supplement called ...
