Review:I love this book, and recommend the movie! Oskar is a young boy in Sweden, he doesn't have many friends, and he constantly harassed by bullies. A young girl, Eli, and her 'father' move in next door.

Review:I disagree. I loved Henry V! I've memorized parts of it because it's just that good. Today Shakespeare's work is almost universally considered some of the best literature written, but he really wrote to entertain and to educate. What more can you ask for? Read more

Review:Virginia Woolf always blows my mind with her ability to marry illustrative, vivid paintings and academic writing. I often find that she makes a clear conclusion that I have previously arrived at independently, but could have never materialized or verbalized successfully. I will always have a room of my own!

Review:The story of Bigger is especially relevant as the nation again discusses issues of race after the trial of George Zimmerman for the death of Trayvon Martin. It is easy to see how racism and marginalization of young Black men leads to powerlessness and rage, and rage leads to actions that exacerbate racist fear, and that fear leads to more racism.
