A Clockwork Orange

Anthony Burgess

W. W. Norton & Company, 1986

Fantastic, yet complicated
I say complicated because of the language that's found throughout the novel. The entire book is written in first person, and we focus on Alex, whose language will be really hard for some people to get into. But if you read it the second or third time, then you'll ...

The Intelligent Investor: The Classic Text on Value Investing

Benjamin Graham

Collins Business, 2005

A classic -- still worth reading after 60 years
Since reading Graham, I keep running into his name everywhere -- and for good reason. Graham (and his disciple Warren Buffet) does not talk about -- or believe in -- get-rich-quick schemes (those are speculation), but in sound principles of looking for solid, well-run ...

August: Osage County

Tracy Letts

Theatre Communications Group, 2008

A must-read for literature and theatre lovers alike...
By far one of the best plays I've read in a long time, maybe even since my love affair with 'Angels in America.' Bitingly funny and horribly tragic, I've yet to find one disappointed fellow reader of Letts' masterpiece.

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Shines Brilliantly Like a Just-Discovered Piece of Cameo Jewelry from a Bygone Era
It's difficult to give any even-handed critique F. Scott Fitzgerald's standard-setting Jazz Age novel since it was required reading for most of us in high school. However, if you come back to it as a full-fledged adult, you'll find that the story still resonates but ...
