Get more out of the "Curious Incident" by opening the "box"
When I suggested "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" as the required summer reading for my campus's new freshmen, I unwittingly committed myself to teaching the group discussion leaders how to review the book. I had lots of ideas, thankfully, but when I ...

Snow
Orhan Pamuk's novel "Snow" is a meditation on Religion, Poetry, Love, Gender relations, and Politics. It is a difficult, challenging work. Although the author himself described "Snow" as a political novel, it is much more. I learned something of Turkey and its ...

The Quality Paperback Bookclub
, 1998
The Wonder of Thought
The author, Bryan Magee, is best known -- at least in England -- for his television series on philosophy, "Men of Ideas," "Thinking Aloud," and "The Great Philosophers." I knew nothing about them when I was given "The Story of Thought" for Christmas. I only know that ...
Nefertiti: A Novel

, 2008
Beguiling, Spoiled, Imperial, always a woman.
I have always been fascinated with Ancient Egypt and especially Nefertiti. This book is a work of fiction; however, it is fiction that is so steeped in known history as to make a very believable tale. I cannot wait for the next book to come out. I highly recommend, ...
The Emperor's Children

Knopf

Mixed feeling about this one...
As a thirty year old who lived in Manhattan during my twenties (and still lives nearby), I know so many people who fit the profiles of the characters in the novel, so for me, their lifestyles, self-importance, and overprivileged aimlessness was nothing out of the ...

Fantastic!
This book is sooo good on many levels. The author did research for this character, the descriptions of neurosurgey were particularly fascinating for me, but also the interior thoughtlife of the doctor contemplating his life and the events of the times (the run-up to ...

Yann Martel
Bookclub-in-a-Box, 2006
It's a little too short
The book is nice, but too thin for this price.

At first glance
I have only glanced at this product but it is well organized. I am an English major and it seems the author goes into great detail to analyze the book in an easy to understand manner. I am looking forward to using this discussion kit while I am reading the novel and at ...

an awesome accomplishment
This is an astonishing volume packed with beautiful poems. I honestly cannot think of a better gift for poetry lovers (or, indeed, plain lovers or anyone else...). Akkadian poetry, Nazim Hikmet, Tagore.... almost every single poet that I love is here. How did the ...

AuthorHouse

Love in it's Purest Most Innocent Form, True Never Ending Love Never Die's
I have never been so moved by a book except like the movie "The Titanic." Love has no rules. It happens when we least expect it, often when we don't want it, many times when we can't handle it. It often times scares you, surprises you, shakes you down to your very ...
