Read this award winner
The White Tiger just won the Man Booker prize. It is a well-deserved award. (I first heard about The White Tiger when it won a place on the Man Booker short list.) Many others will write long-winded reviews, so I'll spare you. Suffice it to say that this is a ...

King, Revitalized
Although I have never been an advocate of the view that Stephen King was losing his touch, this collection seems to offer a version of King with so much energy and creativity that some of his more recent works pale in comparison. It is an intense and generous sampler ...

I want more!
I was sad when this book ended. Actually I did not read this book, I listened to the audio book version. When the book begins, it seems that there is no hope for humans, but as the story goes on it is apparent that hope can never be lost completely and this book ...

Interesting fictionalized bio
I did not know the background of Frank Lloyd Wright's life so this book read like a pleasant romantic novel. I had been told that it had a startling ending. At one point, I put it down for the day and said to my friend, "I don't get it. I'm enjoying the book but I'm ...
