Flowers in the Attic (Dollanganger) 447 reviews V.C. Andrews
Pocket, 2005
It all begins with this book...
+ my favorite book + My guilty pleasure
Sadly, this wasn't the first VCA book I ever read, but when I got around to this, I was not disappointed. It is easily one of the best books I have ever read. The drama, the intrigue, the suspense... I have read this book several times and never get tired of it.

Event Horizon Pr, 2000
ONE OF LOCKLIN'S 2 or 3 BEST WORKS
Gerald Locklin, a great writer often compared to Charles Bukowski and Richard Brautigan, comes out of left field with this amazing little novel. All the things we associate with Locklin are here (booze, sex, relations between men and women) but instead of being filtered through his ...

Pandora (New Tales of the Vampires) 416 reviews Anne Rice
Ballantine Books, 1998
Great Story
+ Pandora + Pandora, finally unveiled
This book is definitely one of my favorites from the Vampire Chronicles. I love the character. Some of Anne Rice's books are so drawn out with boring stories while Pandora seems alive. She's independent, smart, curious, mad, searching for comfort. We also get a good look at Marius, the elder ...

Fahrenheit 451 1271 reviews Ray Bradbury
Del Rey, 1987

+ Fahrenheit 451: A Novel
By my count, this'll be the 1,218th review for this book on amazon, so what could I possibly say that the other 1,217 haven't?
But for those few who dare dig this deep to read: I loved the book. I've read numerous novels and thrillers for fun, and also dabbled in more serious, non-fiction as ...
