Review:‘Andreas Tangen’ is the fictitious name our nameless protagonist gives to the Officer on Duty the night he finds himself cold, wet, famished, keyless (not to say clueless, and consequently without even a room to go home to) and nearing delirium. His solution? To seek room and board in the city jail whence he can contemplate the rain falling on the outside.

I only recently (July 17) read and reviewed Jack London’s MARTIN EDEN. Knut Hamsun’s semiautobiographical HUNGER could well serve a... Read more

Review:Common has always been one of those people that you want to keep a watch on. His music, though in the beginning, was a bit controversial has been inspiring and had a message that reached all people.

In "One Day It'll All Make Sense", Common offers up himself and his mother provides a great backdrop to his story. I love the relationship between the both and how conscious Common is when expressing the loss of loved ones and the love that he has had for the women in his life. This book offer... Read more

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...

Review:For any level of either afferent or efferent pedagoguery and learning this makes the 72 hour weeks and the help Every Child Left Behind by a certain semiliterate Wolfram all worth while. Buy this thing. Read more

Review:It's an interesting memoir...autobiography (I need to google the difference) about what can happen when you love comedy, work at honing your comedic skills, and put yourself out there. But even if you semi-like Mindy Kaling (sorry Min, I swear this statement ends well) you will LOVE this book. Just buy it dude. It's really good! Read more

Review:A TYPICAL ROSS MATHEWS POINT OF VIEW..VERY FUNNY, RAW IN SOME WAYS, BUT STILL VERY FUNNY........I LAUGHED OUT LOUD ABOUT SOME OF HIS MEANDERINGS, AND THAT IS SOMETHING I RARELY DO WHEN READING A BOOK.......I WISH HIM THE BEST OF LUCK ON HIS NEW TALK SHOW.....JUST HOPE HE KEEPS IT "WATCHABLE" AND NOT TOO RISQUE.........JAN Read more

Review:Autobiography of Mark Twain - 100th Anniversary Edition Buying what I thought was the new Mark Twain autobiography, this book arrived. Same title, looks authentic, but appears to be an outside instant publishing effort which slipped its product onto the Amazon catalog. Telltale evidence: printer's mark on back page: "24 March 2011" -- just a couple of days before I ordered the book.

Review:Betty, at her finest! I loved this book specifically because of the number of personal, previously unpublished pictures from Betty's personal life. Having read all of her other books I'd say this is definitely worth the purchase! Read more

Review:I was prepared to like Mr. Astin - the character of Sam is one of my literary favorites. My daughter, who collects all things LOTR, asked for this book for Christmas, however, knowing that Hollywood types like to lace every thought, written and spoken, with profanity, I checked this book out of the library for a look-see. I was familiar with Mr. Astin, of course. I thought his voice-overs on the extended trilogies were rather verbose, pretentious and self-absorbed (Shut up, Sean! No one cares ... Read more
