Smashing good time
When a comic is called World War Hulk, you shouldn't expect Shakespeare. If you expect a whole lot of people getting punched in the face by the green Goliath, along with the usual property damage, you wont be disappointed. The meagre plot is only there to drive confrontation and confrontation is what this book is all about. I like the Hulk as a character but have never really followed his ...

Ten Year Nap a Five Star Winner
I picked up "Ten Year Nap" on a friend's recommendation. I'm male, and certainly not an out-of-the-workplace mom, so I didn't begin reading "Ten Year Nap" in hopes of finding characters I identified with. What I did find was a funny, insightful book that held me every second, with some hilarious writing and great storytelling. I loved reading it and I loved quoting the zinger lines to friends. ...

The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics

C. S. Lewis

HarperOne, 2007

The deal of a lifetime!
While it seems that many of C.S. Lewis' works have been compiled into collections since their initial publications, this particular collection might be one of the best available at the moment. That is, this collection might offer a comparatively larger bang for one's buck. Each of the titles contained within this single volume are more than worth their weight in gold, making the collection as a ...

Compelling narrative, excellent advice
Back when I began reading books on writing by established writers, I did it out of a hankering to become a creative writer. As the scales fell from my eyes and I realized that would only happen if I became the host body for a truly talented spirit, I found I still enjoyed reading writers on the theme of their craft. I've read excellent books on the topic by Anne Lamott, John Gardner, Brenda ...

Careless in Red: A Novel

Elizabeth George

Harper, 2008

Wonderful...
I missed Simon & Deborah, but this was a lovely portrait of Lynley grieving. It nearly broke my heart. The mystery was intriguing and compelling enough that I didn't mind the very limited Havers/Lynley interaction and the lack of Simon and Deborah. Elizabeth George writes a good mystery, with great characters.

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

The Little Hitler In Me
The title alone makes the book, which catches an impulse in the contemporary liberal spirit which is often ignored. Liberalism has always meant something opposite to fascism, but as liberalism has hardened it has indeed taken on some of the temptations of the totalitarians of the 20th century. I have known many liberals who talk about killing their enemies. There is a strong puritanical streak in ...

Be Unique and Unpredictable
I've bought two copies of this book. One for my best friend and one for me. She was in love with one very good looking guy from the company where she works but he never paid attention to her so I thought this book might be helpful for her. Now I can say that I am very proud of myself, because I really helped my friend to become more confident and the results are amazing. I hoped that this ...

Penguin Classics, 2006

Jane Eyre
Sublime. One of the best books I've ever read. The voice of Jane is powerful and the plot is intriquing. A very bold adventure for the author given the times she lived in - exploring themes of freedom of choice of a husband, career options for women, women's rights etc. Very absorbing and thoroughly entertaining. Five stars.

Bill Bryson

Broadway, 2007

Those fabulous 50's
A father who's a top sports columnist. Wax teeth, the Butter Boys, infatuation with atomic energy, and a booming post-war economy. Is it any wonder that Bill Bryson (the second) turned out the way he did? Reading this crazy essay is a walk down memory lane for baby boomers. Who could forget crawling under a school desk to ward off the effects of a nuclear attack by communists? Or the rise of rock ...

Good Hellboy, Kick some A
This is not only a great story, but it also has amazing art. The artist who worked on this book did an amazing job that definitely impressed me. Being a fan of Mike's art work, I can sometimes me skeptical of other people that pick up the torch and illustrate his books. The art is amazing and I recommend it to any fan of Hellboy.

One Hundred Years of Solitude (P.S.)

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006

A book for all people.
One Hundred Years of Solitude is said to be a work so wonderful, It should be required reading for the entire human race, and I must say I completely agree. The novel follows the progression of the Buenida family and Macondo, the town that grows along with the people in it. As I read I felt as if I was with the family and was experiencing the same things the town was going through. Garcia ...

Finally someone who tells it the way it really is!!
I am a Christian and and writer, and Anne Lamott is the best I have found out there writing on both subjects. You might not agree with something she says but if you stop, think about it, really let it sink in, she usually hits it right on the mark. Reading her book has truly inspired me and helped me to continue to write against all odds. I am going right now to download another Anne Lamott ...
