Prelude to Foundation
Prelude to Foundation

Review:This is the most entertaining book among the Foundation series. Other Fondation books usually deal with political issues and lots of talk and talk and talk but this book has some action. (Poor Harry Seldon would have never imagined that himself would have been a active young man who could do some martial art and do some physical stuffs when he first appeared in the Foundation) The style is very much like the Currents of Space and this book is just as well written as the Currents of Space. If you... Read more

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Penguin Modern Classics)
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Penguin Modern Classics)

Review:I think this book deserved a 5 star rating because of its great writing,humorous moments, & drawings. I wish there were more short stories like this. I would recommend this to anyone who loves a great read and something different than what you're used to when it comes to reading. Also after reading the book I would recommend watching the movie "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty"

We the Living
We the Living

Review:This book would be a wonderful eye opener for our younger generation, it provides an in depth look at life under a communist state, which is much like a socialist state but the brutality was more pronounced under communism. The idea that the individual should be subservient to society is part and parcel of both communism and socialism. My country is now observing what can only be described as creeping socialism. The far left political elite are doing their best to undermine the basis of the amer... Read more

The Name of the Rose
The Name of the Rose

Review:This is long since recognized as a book that'll last and forever define its author, and I won't review it just to fawn at the shrine. I will, though, warn you not to become intimidated.
This isn't the daunting challenge some reviewers make it out to be. Name of the Rose is an engaging read, and you don't need to become bogged down trying to completely understand the religious and political subtexts in order to appreciate it. It's a splendid, enjoyable book if you approach it as one. Nobody's ... Read more

Review:I read all three and was really looking forward to this one. It was good. A little predictable and frustrating in some ways but overall, good. I enjoyed the first two books much more but like having a good ending to the entire story. Read more

classic historical romance LORNA DOONE (illustrated)
classic historical romance LORNA DOONE (illustrated)

Review:It's a love story, and it has everything: bandits, highwaymen, corrupt judges, criminal masterminds, heroes, villains, faithful friends, lovers, betrayals, robbery, murder, mines, runaway carriages, and beer for breakfast. It's written in classic 19th-century prose style, so don't be put off by the slow start. Slog through it, tough it out, fall it love with the great John Ridd and the beautiful robber's child, Lorna Doone. Set in Exmoor, it's based on historical events. The Ridd farmhouse exist...

The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories (Vintage Magic)
The Bloody Chamber And Other Stories (Vintage Magic)

Review:In Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber and Other Stories, the author re-creates the fairy tales of old, melding them into feminist tales of love, loss, lust, and sexuality. While her stories find their genesis in the childlike versions of Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White, and others, Ms. Carter transforms these fantastical stories into adult renditions where vampires prey on virgins, where children lie down with wolves, and a Count "thrust his virile member into the dead girl"...

Review:The music in this item is awesome. It is calming especially when driving. As you listen you can reread the book in your mind. The book is better than the film though the film was also excellent. I am glad I bought this CD. Read more
