Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and Other Short Fiction (Bantam Classic) 8 reviews Stephen Crane
Bantam Classics, 1986
What could have been?
+ A wonderful story, and the extra stories are just bonuses to a great package.
Let me first state that I do not own this specific edition of Maggie, and that I am only reviewing the actual story of Maggie: A Girl of the Streets. I wasn't going to review this book since it is not the one that I own; however, after reading a previous review I decided that I had to review it.

Gump & Co. is a ok book
+ More Gump Is Pretty Good
Gump & Co. is a good book. You'd have to read the first book (Forrest Gump) to get whet happens in this book. Winston Groom has a way of making every thing that he writes funny. Because Forrest Gump is "special in the head", he gets into trouble.
A very good book that most people should read.

9-11 168 reviews Noam Chomsky
Open Media/Seven Stories Press, 2001
Important Context for 9/11 that's Hard to Find Elsewhere
This is a collection of talks and interviews so it lacks the political models and theories that Chomsky applies to U.S. politics and media that are found in his larger and more in depth works.
This book is probably best suited for the moderate dissident or progressive who has read only ...
