The Dial Press

Sophie Kinsella

The Dial Press, 2008

Best Sophie Kinsella book!
I LOVED this book! I read it in 3 days! I liked the Shopaholic series alright, but mostly found them frustrating and a bit redundant, so I was skeptical when I borrowed this book... but was happily surprised! This is the best book I've read in a while, and I was ...

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society

Mary Ann Shaffer, Annie Barrows

The Dial Press, 2008

What a pleasant surprise!

This book is a 5-star book for engineers and technologists, particularly those working for big corporations, but probably only a 3-star book for anybody else. (You can guess from my rating what I do.) Vonnegut creates hybrid eu/dystopia brought about by the ultimate ...

Welcome to the Monkey House

Kurt Vonnegut

The Dial Press, 1998

Glen Williamson performs two of these stories as a play
Glen Williamson (Google him) has been performing two of these stories for years as a one-man play: "Who Am I This Time?" and "The Kid Nobody Could Handle." "Cheers and congratulations again! Your performance Tuesday evening was truly extraordinary. I feel so ...
