The Bleeding of the Stone (Interlink World Fiction)

Ibrahim Al-Koni

Interlink Books, 2001

The Distractions of Life
"It was only when he started praying that the male goats decided to butt one another right there in front of him." I tell you, that's a fine first line. It's the kind of first line that draws the reader in, and summarizes the issues of the book: the distractions ...

Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning

Jonah Goldberg

Doubleday, 2008

Not What You Think It's Going To Be
So many people, to include certain friends of mine, are all too willing to write this book off as just one more salvo from the Republican noise machine without ever bothering to read it. Goldberg's title is perhaps unfortunate in this regard, as it leaves one with the ...

Bleeding Hearts: A Novel

Ian Rankin

Little, Brown and Company, 2007

A hunter with a heart.
Every once in a while it's good to read a book about a sniper that seems to have touch of humanity. This is a sniper without a clear conscience and it added a refreshing element to the story. It was also new that this sniper was good at shooting, but he wasn't a ...
