Review:Well written, amusing, interesting, observant and very true to life. I am a resident in
a retirement village and it could have been written by a resident here, as such a lot
of the characters were similar - you just have to have a sense of humour when you
live in a place like this!!!! Read more

Review:Published in 1937, George Orwell's The Road to Wigan Pier documents the grinding poverty of northern England, namely Lancashire and Yorkshire. As with Orwell's better-known and somewhat similar Down and Out in Paris and London, the author sets out to investigate the conditions of the poor by living among them and writing about his experiences. There is a chapter on coal miners and mines, and Orwell elucidates on the culture and mechanics of the industry; he goes down a mine to report, taking the... Read more

Review:It was ok but the author (Joseph Campbell) of this book was from the 1960s and I do have the DVD by the same author on the same subject.. I enjoy reading about Myths and the possible connection with some of its concepts with our Major Religions. My curiosity is because of my lifetime Christian experiences both in our Lutheran Church and in real life. The book then begs the question "Are religions (specific ones ) and Myths more or less one and the same and does that trump peoples faith....a qu... Read more

Review:Just what the rancher needed. Rancher Matthew Clay was as solid as an oak, unmovable as granit. Until temporary housekeeper Jaimie Greene came to the Double C. She was the queen of calanity, riskier than a Wyoming winter. And feisty redhead's tempting innocence and sassy rebukes drove Matthew to distraction.

Review:I've enjoyed reading all of Elizabeth Gaskell's books. She teaches some good lessons about how we should treat one another. The fact that we don't have the end of the story isn't such a bad thing. Life is kind of like that. Read more

Review:I finished the original C. K. Scott Moncrieff translation, bought book 7 of this series and decided to reread all the books of this newer fixed translation. The writing is far more natural and enjoyable... Read more

Review:I am no intellectual, and stumbled upon this book through a ladies' magazine article asking celebs what they were reading. Elizabeth Shue, whose talent I really enjoy, mentioned Letters to a Young Poet. The book is for the open-minded and the big- hearted, teachable few that possess the intellectual chops to parse and absorb the beauty of Rilke's words and insight. It is both a comfort and an inspiration. I LOVE this book. Buy it, and share some time with it, and yourself. Read more
