,
Kassie Schwan
HarperPerennial, 1990
A fun and illuminating look at our linguistic past.
Who Put the Butter in Butterfly? David Feldman A fun and interesting look at the everyday phrases used so often in the English language. This book is just what trivia junkies crave. No, it is not great literature, so what? Just look at the cover and the title..... ...
A Blue Fire
James Hillman

Thoughtful and engaging. It gives pause for reflection.

Too Many Tomatoes, Squash, Beans, and Other Good Things: A Cookbook for When Your Garden Explodes
Lois M. Landau
,
Laura G. Myers
HarperPerennial, 1991
Excellent Garden Cookbook
I have owned this book for about nine years now, and every summer when the garden really starts to produce it comes back off of the cookbook shelf. Some of my particular favorites are the Fresh Cream of Tomato Soup and the Eggplant Minestrone, which both freeze well ...
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley
HarperPerennial, 1989
Frighteningly Prophetic
Brave New World / 0-06-092987-1 While "Brave New World" may lack the narrative punch of other dystopias such as "1984", I cannot help but feel that for sheer prophetic rightness, Huxley hits the nail on the head where others fail. Where Orwell sees an oppressive ...
Rule of the Bone: A Novel
Russell Banks
HarperPerennial, 1996
On my "Top Ten" list!
Bank's exploration of a teenager's rite of passage into adulthood far exceeds anything of the kind I've previously read. His character's emotional journey from childhood into young adulthood, and his physical journey across continents, leaves me yearning to create ...
March: A Love Story in a Time of War
Geraldine Brooks
HarperPerennial, 2006
I Loved Meeting Mr. March And Hearing His Story
This is one of the most Pulizer-worthy novels I've read in a long while. The novel tells the previously untold story of the absent father in Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (Signet Classics). In Little Women, the reader only gets to know Peter March through his ...
Run With the Hunted: Charles Bukowski Reader, A
Charles Bukowski
HarperPerennial, 1994
Just what I expected ... only better!
This double CD is a total joy! Quintessential Bukowski - there's nothing like hearing poems read by the author, I think, especially with him. There's two CD's, poems interspersed with conversations with the people doing the recording. The only drawback could be that ...

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

William Pitt the Younger
William Hague
HarperPerennial, 2005
A rounded portrait of a great statesman
William Hague has a pleasant, straightforward and limpid style in which he can convey not only complex political situations, but a warmth of feeling towards his subject and a sensitive and empathic interpretation of behaviour and background. He begins with Pitt's ...
Purple Hibiscus
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
HarperPerennial, 2005
riveting reading
I bought this book a few months ago, Iwas riveted from the first line. Very good reading, excellent writing by this young author. I looked for other books by this author and found Half A Yellow Sun which was even better than Purple Hibiscus. I learned a lot about ...
Provided You Don't Kiss Me: 20 Years with Brian Clough
Duncan Hamilton
HarperPerennial, 2008
Not Fair, Not all True & a new Spin Doctor that is Duncan Hamiltion
I'm afraid I'm going to have to go against the grain on this one. When I first picked this book up, & read John Motson's quote on the front cover "One of the best football books I've ever read", I thought I was onto something. What I found was that Duncan ...
A Long Way Gone: The True Story of a Child Soldier
Ishmael Beah
HarperPerennial, 2008
The Fit
Philip Hensher
HarperPerennial, 2005
From the author of The Mulberry Empire comes a short, delicious, rather disorienting novel about an indexer who wakes up one morning to find out that he has just been left by his wife! 'My wife had gone and I didn't know where she had gone. It would have been terrible if I had liked her but I only loved her.' John is an indexer, and a bloody good ...
