Review:What a shame that Terry Pratchett is not still alive1 Not only would he be writing more books to delight us all, but we would love to read what he would think of a world where “Post-Truth” is a real term. Terry Pratchett writes nonsensical satire that ends up making perfect sense. Terry Pratchett is the master of a fantasy sub-genre that probably belongs to him alone. Most of them are clever, witty, and rapid-fire novels. Almost all of the Discworld novels fall into different categories: Tiffany... Read more

Review:Anais Nin is famous for writing erotica that was decades ahead of its time; this is a collection of several of her erotic short stories. They are quite good, quite well-written, but I can't say that they're flawless. There are two main problems, one of which is certainly the result of her having written the stories for a patron whose stated interests clearly colored her writing, and the other of which may be a result of the same influence or may be the result of Nin being, in spite of her best e...

Review:After reading many of the very insightful reviews this book already has, I will not try to add anything. Suffice it to say that I read The Name of the Rose years ago and my battered 1983 paperback still sits on my bookshelf. I read it again a few weeks ago on my Kindle and enjoyed it as much or more than the first time. A great book! Read more

Review:This book is extremely well written. It has an interesting, thought provoking, plot that actively encourages the reader to turn the pages. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoyed reading works by either J.K. Rowling or Rick Riordan. Read more

Review:Camus introduces to the reader, in a rare second-person point of view, to Jean-Baptiste Clamence. Camus' novel is almost interactive, with Clamence answering the reader's questions and taking the reader's hand. At points in the novel, the reader is actually telling Clamence what to do, and he is responding back. It is slightly eerie, but ingenious. The novel, however, is about Clamence's experiences in WWII, and how he has survived to become a deranged, off-kilter person. The last chapter i... Read more

Review:This is anachronism done right by Neil Gaiman. The title gives one the jist of this graphic novel’s theme. It’s the Marvel Universe circa 1602. There’s a big cast of Marvel characters in this collection of eight comics. However, those who don’t follow comics might not recognize some of the characters because they are decidedly less comic-esque in this take. The characters mostly go by their given names rather than their superhero nom de guerre and not one of them wears spandex—and even capes ar... Read more

Review:This book is in bad shape, it is discolored, stained, torn, and almost falling apart. I only paid a penny for it, but shipping was almost $3.99 so it really was not worth it, because the book was not worth $4.
I will still be able to read it, but it will be quite embarassing pulling it out in front of other people, so I suppose it will be a book I read at home. Read more
