Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter) 3 reviews Laurell K. Hamilton
Jove, 2007
It really is a guilty pleasure
Anita Blake has become something of a household word since Guilty Pleasures was first published in 1993. The concept is interesting as Anita lives in an imaginary Earth where werewolves, vampires, zombies, and other supernatural creatures are a part of life. Anita is an "animator" who can raise ...

Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West 1494 reviews Gregory Maguire
Harper Paperbacks, 1996
Unique & heart breaking
+ Droll & Amusing + Wicked
I just finished reading Wicked at 3:50am 29 Aug 08.
This book is not my normal read. The style was much darker than I had thought it would be. In the first 80 or so pages, I could not believe how bad the book was. But as I read on I fell in love with the Wicked Witch of the West. While the ...

The Catcher in the Rye 4 reviews J. D Salinger
Little, Brown and Company, 1951
I'm in Love with Holden Caulfield (and J.D. Salinger)
+ Scott R. Cooley's Review of The Catcher In The Rye + great book for a jaded person
To give "The Catcher in the Rye" 5 stars is like giving "The Complete Works of William Shakespeare" 5 stars. I'm not kidding.
I read "The Catcher in the Rye" in the 8th grade. And, okay, I was a little bit more than entranced by the (shocking!) use of profanity. This was, after all, 1968.

Everyone's Favorite . . .
+ READ IT! + Justice is blind, juries are suspect, should judges decide?
I honestly have no idea how many times I have read this book. I read it first as an assignment in the eighth grade; most recently, at the age of 41, I read it aloud to three of my children. As with the more recent readings that I recall, I choked up a bit at the end as Scout is experiencing the ...
