The Problem of Pain
C. S. Lewis
HarperOne, 2001
Of Human Suffering
The question or 'problem' that C.S. Lewis sets out to answer in "The Problem of Pain" is one that has confounded believers and non-believers alike: if God is good and loves his creation, why does he allow such pain and suffering to exist? How can that be good and ...

The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil
Philip Zimbardo
Random House Trade Paperbacks, 2008
An important book of our time.
First let me disclaim that there was a section of the book I did not read because it was incorrectly bound -- it went from page 426 to page 375, but the new p. 375 was different from the one that had preceded it. [I'm guessing that the reason Amazon is out of stock ...

Angels & Demons
Dan Brown
Pocket, 2006
Excellent, Plot-twisting Thriller
An incredibly entertaining read. Thought provoking, fast-paced action. I had read The Davinci Code first, and was not sure that it would be as good as that book, but it definitely surpassed my expectations. I think this was even more enjoyable than The Davinci Code. ...

The Master and Margarita
Mikhail Bulgakov
Vintage, 1996
A extraordinary novel
There is little I can add to the many excellent reviews of this unique novel; it repays re-reading and study.

Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives
Laura C. Schlessinger
Harper Paperbacks, 1995
You Move In, The Leverage Moves Out
As a female, when you move in with a guy without a commitment, the mistake is always the same: YOU HAVE NO LEVERAGE, and to make things worse, it is in fact, partly your own fault by way of collusion. If things go wrong and you realize he doesn't want to get married, ...

Swan Song
Robert McCammon
Pocket, 1987
An amazing read
I got completely caught up in this book, and stayed up much later than I should have most nights to get further in it. You get completely sucked in to the gritty world and the characters' struggles. I could not put this book down. Anyone who loves post-apocalyptic ...

Cuisines of the Axis of Evil and Other Irritating States: A Dinner Party Approach to International Relations
Chris Fair
The Lyons Press, 2008
Come for the shrill, leftist-corrective sensibility; stay for the fesanjan.
Like some unholy hybrid of Rachel Ray and Fareed Zakaria, Ms. Fair uses her extensive knowledge of the world's hotspots and her love and talent for cooking to undertake the heretofore little-attempted mission of helping the reader actually learn something of use ...
