1984 (Signet Classics) 1542 reviews
George Orwell
New American Library, 1961
Disturbing and Relevent
It may be said that great books comment on their times, and on the human experience, but masterpieces actually shape history. We may look at George Orwell's 1984 in two ways: first, his description of the terror of totalitarianism, which his generation witnessed firsthand in the form of Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia. Orwell does a masterful job of presenting such a world in its day-to-day ...

In Bed with the Duke 12 reviews
Christina Dodd
Signet, 2010
Unique way with historicals
What a welcome return to historical romance! This was an exciting read with one of Dodd's amazing sexy heroes, tons of action, and the hottest love scenes. Plus I'm always a sucker for when the hero gets injured and the heroine takes care of him. I loved the world she created, and all the imaginative names and places--a true storybook romance with lots of adventure!

Read it 3 times!!
I'm an avid King fan and this is by far my favorite book. I read it as a teenager and reread it a couple of years ago rediscovering this "apocalyptic" tale.

Feast Of Fools
Feast Of Fools has a lot of surprises awaiting to be read. Bishop is throwing a ball and vampires must bring a human date. What people don't know is that the human dates are gifts, if you may, but Claire knows the truth and is determined to go to the ball and save the ones she loves.
Just like the other three books in the series, Feast Of Fools is another great book to be read. I love the ...

The Richest Man in Babylon438 reviews

The Richest Man in Babylon
I have read many books on building wealth. I wish I would have read this book when I was 16. If I could have adopted the techniques in this book as a young man just starting my life in the working world, I would have been retired by now in my early 40's. There is no time like the present to learn new wealth building techniques to commit to being wealthy in the near future.

Superb Selection
Atlas Shrugged is an excellent novel, one that should be read by every freedom-loving American. This country is at a crossroads and must be ever vigilant that we hold to the Constitution and a smaller federal government.

In a climate in which, if we are honest about discussing our Constitution, it is worthwhile to explore the best arguments for the document which are fond here in the Federalist Papers. While it should never be thought as the final authority on the meaning of the Constitution, the Federalist Papers explains the necessity of as well as the hopes for the government described in the Constitution ...

Awesome!
I just love JR Ward and the Brothers! I was hooked from the first few pages of Dark Lover. I couldn't put it down and stayed up until 3:00 in the morning just to finish it in one day. Her writing just gets better with every storyline. If you love paranormal romance, and love series with the same characters, you have to get this set.

If Books Could Kill: A Bibliophile Mystery5 reviews
Kate Carlisle
Signet, 2010
Fast-paced mystery with a funny touch
Kate Carlisle's second mystery novel is just as fabulous as the first! I loved it!
In If Books Could Kill, rare book expert Brooklyn Wainwright goes to Edinburgh, Scotland to attend the Book Fair. A friend approaches her with an incredible find, what could be a book of heretofore undiscovered poems by Robert Burns and proof of a scandal that will forever shatter the world's view of Scotland's ...

If you loved Twilight, you'll love these books
While finding many books that I enjoyed, I couldn't find any books that peaked my interest and curiosty as much as the Twilight series. I've now found another series that is a page turner where the book is done before I know it. I've never been a big fan of romances, and when a friend suggested I read these books I groaned and thought I don't want to read a book about just sex, but not having ...

Sleeping With Anemone: A Flower Shop Mystery8 reviews

Signet, 2010
You can still be a man and read a cozy mystery
Kate Collins writes her cozy mysteries not just for the "chick-lit" crowd. I have given these books as gifts ever since I came upon the first in the series, " Mum's The Word" and was absolutely hooked. It's not often that a cozy mystery spans a broad range of readers, but Collins does it with ease. My favorite by far was "Shoots To Kill," but this new title has just taken the number one spot. She ...

Book report: The Origin of Species, by Charles Darwin
When it comes to subjects like biology and medicine, I am an absolute moron. I only barely avoided failing the one and only biology class I ever took, thanks to an absurd amount of extra-credit outside reading assignments and a science fair project that I still don't understand. I can never remember if DNA is made out of chromosomes or the other way around. Same with proteins and amino acids. I'm ...

Love!
I absolutely love these books. I will read them many times, I'm sure. If anything, I would say the first book, the Gunslinger, starts the series out a little slow, but even that book is very good, and the books only get better the more you read.

Common Sense, The Rights of Man and Other Essential Writings of Thomas Paine (Signet Classics)56 reviews
Thomas Paine
Signet Classics, 2003
As advertised
This classic hardly needs a review from me as to its merits; what's really needed is a renewed interest in reading this important work. Today's citizens could all benefit from gaining an acquaintance with the people and ideas that helped forge a new - and different - nation. For that reason, this little tome is highly recommended.

Another paranormal winner
Enjoyed very much. The story line flowed with excitement,intrigue and of course betrayal.
Yes, it is very different from BDB but that does not make it an interesting read.
When is the next one coming out?
