The Book of Disquiet (Penguin Modern Classics)
The Book of Disquiet (Penguin Modern Classics)

Review:There are certain writers few and rare who make the reader see the world in a different way. There are certain writers who reveal to us hidden worlds in ourselves and teach us truths on the edge of our consciousness which we by ourselves alone could never bring to revelation. Pessoa is such a writer, a singularity among the singularities. He explores as he himself says his own subjectivity and is a person largely of his own inner world but that inner world never stops encountering and transformi... Read more

The Sneetches and Other Stories
The Sneetches and Other Stories

Review:I so love the stories, every story, in this book - read it to my daughter until it was worn out and had to buy another copy, and since she has grown up, she and I have both given it as gifts many times over. "Too Many Daves" and "The Pale Green Pants" are our favorites. So fun and readable and whimsical - Dr. Seuss at his all-time best! Read more

Review:This is what I was promised: Condition: New
BRAND NEW,GOOD QUALITY AND FAST DELIVERY. ALL HAVE FREE TRACKING NUMBER WITH REGISTERED.

What I really get is a broken case, and two of the volumes are not in a good condition. Still the inside is good and the product is what I asked for.

So the books are apparently not new, or the delivery is of a very bad quality. Also I had some problems with the delivery at first, but the communication with the seller is really good, and he solved ... Read more

Fences
Fences

Review:"Fences" has become an undisputed classic of American theater. One of the famous "Pittsburgh Cycle" plays by August Wilson, it focuses on a slice of African-American life in a particular decade. The yard of Troy Maxson, set somewhere in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sets the scene. The year is 1957, a time when some opportunities begin opening up for African-Americans - at least in some parts of the country. Racial tensions still raged throughout the US, especially in the south. In that same year, s... Read more

The Opposite of Loneliness: Essays and Stories

Review:She is and would have been a phenomenal author! A couple of the essays were a bit boring for my taste but Marina was so very talented. It's just so horrible she died so young and so tragically. May her family take comfort in that we are now all able to enjoy and appreciate her talented work. Read more

How to Become a Grown-up in 535 Easy(ish) Steps

Review:I was expecting a comedy book about failings at becoming an adult - and that was in this book - but there were also really helpful tips for young adults setting out on their own. Kelly did an excellent job of mixing the two. Read more

Book of Longing
Book of Longing

Review:Cohen is a true original. These poems written after twenty years of not publishing poetry often take the form of songs. They are written in short rhyming lines in short stanzas, stanzas often being four lines. They sing of love and longing, of aging and the search for wisdom. They have brilliance and irony. A good part of the work is dedicated to the time that the Jewish Cohen is studying and living in a Zen Monastery in California on Mt. Baldy. But Cohen is no blind follower of any teacher and ...
