Fahrenheit 451 1271 reviews Ray Bradbury
Del Rey, 1987
A thrilling combination of 50's pulp sci-fi and reflective commentary
+ 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 ...

The Picture of Dorian Gray (Barnes & Noble Classics Series) (Barnes & Noble Classics) 260 reviews Oscar Wilde
Barnes & Noble Classics, 2003
The books that the world calls immoral are books that show the world its own shame
+ "Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter"-Oscar Wilde + Further reading
Wilde sees the world more clearly than any writer of fiction in the last century. It is for that reason that his work is so filled with countless paradoxes and contradictions that challenge the mind and titillate the senses. Wilde lived in an infinitely ironic age, when society had grown so ...

Private Lives (Methuen Modern Plays) 4 reviews Nol Coward
A&C Black, 2003
"To hell with love."
+ Fabulously Witty: A Great Quick Read!
This farcical look at marriage, first produced in 1930, starred the author, Noel Coward, and the legendary Gertrude Lawrence. The play's recent revivals in London and New York, however, attest to its incisive wit and its razor-sharp social observation, both of which transcend the 1930s setting and ...

This is the first book by Steinbeck that I ever read and like many other people, it was required reading in my language arts class. It was so moving that some of the girls in the class were crying at the end.
George and Lennie are two workers that move from job to job. George is small and ...
