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. Oskar and Eli become friends, and strange things begin to happen in the neighborhood, and Oskar begins to wonder; How come he never sees Eli during the daytime? Read more

Review:The best thing about The Invitation is the first chapter: The invitation itself. Nice poetry. However, if you are a serious spiritual seeker, you are aware of the plight civilation has created for us. This societal design is seriously flawed, and the true spiritual seeker will realize the answer lies in a return to respect and co-existence for all living things which requires a self-less attitude - a departure from the <I deserve a break today> mentality and a return to community.

Review:The recording offered here by Blackstone Audiobooks is an astonishing bargain. Frederick Davidson's unabridged (13-hour 11-CD) rendition of Jackson-Knight's classic prose translation of the Aeneid is well done and at a price that beggers belief. The only reason I hesitated before giving it a well-deserved five stars is that I personally found Davidson's delivery to be rather camp to my English ear, which did mean I had to listen for a while to tune into the words. Then it was wonderful. Read more

Review:I had been really looking forward to finally reading this ever since Alex first announced the release date. I get so much daily inspiration from her posts on Instagram and Twitter, plus I have her first book "Words from a Wanderer", so I had an idea of what to expect..... But i was NOT expecting how much I ended up connecting with her very private thoughts and personal struggles. I was in tears after the first couple of pages.... She really opens up and speaks her truth. It's both a collection o... Read more

Review:Despite its hyperbole, this class critique cum romance has its charms, including a fascinating glimpse of how Forster saw the Stephen children (later destined to become Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell). Read more

Review:Just google Robert Frost. The money isn't going to any related to Frost. It is all public domain because it was published before 1923. Spend your money on the poet that has his own self published book.

I HATE THAT I SPENT MONEY ON THIS. DON"T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE. Read more

Review:There have been several excellent translations of Dante in the past few years, all worth reading in their own right. But I retain a special affection for John Ciardi's version, as it's the first one I ever read, at the unprepared & overwhelmed age of 15. I knew of its reputation as a major classic & I was ignorant enough to be unfazed by the prospect of reading it.

Well, to say that I was soon in over my head is an understatement! But Ciardi's fine, lyrical translation, as well as... Read more

Review:One of the stories that defined what a "classic" is. This is a very readable translation. Gilagamesh is one of the earliest recorded mythologies. The Epic is a must read for the history/literature buff. Read more

Review:Being a philosophy minor in college, I think that I understood about half of this book. Here are some things to know before taking the leap.

1.Nietzsche discusses writers that were around hundred years ago or more that most people today are not familiar with.
2.A few passages in the book are clearly misogynistic.
3.Nietzsche's writing can be long-winded and convoluted at times, though it shows that his work was inspired from deep within him, and is not a bland logical conclusion de... Read more
