Truth vs. Liberal Media
It is always good to study both sides of current issues.After reading Mr. Morris's book, I fear that the mindless masses who believed the print media and the big three TV news channels have been brain washed once again. The vicious circle of poorly educated people who ...
The Art of Racing in the Rain
Garth Stein
Harper

an avid reader
This book was great; it has all the important elements of a great novel. I really didn't think a story told by a dog would work, but it did. And fantastically! It was a sweet, endearing story. Loved it!

A good read filled with values, trials and tribulations. A must read for every generation and I believe an instant classic to be passed down from generation to generation.

You are America and you don't know that Pilgrims are not Puritans?

From Dead to Worse
This is a fantastic addition to the Sookie Stackhouse novels. It was full of action and intrigue. I can't wait until the next one!
The Northern Clemency
Philip Hensher
Knopf
, 2008
Ordinary life made extraordinary
Don't let some of the words used to describe "The Northern Clemency," words like "epic," "rambling," or "stream of consciousness," discourage you from taking up this wonderful novel. It is none of these things. Certainly it is the complicated and intricate story of two ...
The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62)
David Wroblewski
Ecco
, 2008
Best book I have read in years!
This is the best book I have read in years. It started out a little slow but then I was hooked intellectually and emotionally right through to the shocking end. The spiritual bond between Edgar, on the one hand, and Almondine and the other dogs, on the other hand, ...

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Stieg Larsson
Knopf
, 2008
Ended too soon!
What a read. It ended entirely too soon. I am sincerely hoping that Salander is a key figure in Larsson's next book. She is fascinating and there are so many unravelled bits in her story that are just begging to be answered. This was a first rate thriller - don't ...

A word of warning
Do *not* start this novel if you have any intention of sleeping in the next few hours. It was 6 am, and the birds were chirping as I turned the last page. Almost forty years of Afghan history is told through the eyes of two very different women, whose destiny becomes ...
Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning
Jonah Goldberg
Doubleday
, 2008
Don't be turned off by the title if you are a liberal
This is not a liberal bashing book. There is much more to fascism that most Americans ever realized. This is a well documented, scholarly volume that puts the political phenomena of the 1870's - today in a perspective that is believable and factual. Did you know ...

Out Stealing Horses: A Novel
Per Petterson
Picador
, 2008
Deserving five stars
A really good story, painful at times but lessons to be learned. The setting is very vivid as are the characters. I'm almost tempted to read through it again it is so rich in images. The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao
