Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Writings (New Directions Paperbook)

Jorge Luis Borges

New Directions, 2007

Writings of a great reader
In "How To Read a Book" Mortimer J. Adler and Charles Van Doren describe the fourth level of reading. Synoptical reading challenges the reader who, having carefully and thoroughly understood several individual works, strives to hear the conversation of their ensemble. ...

The Labyrinth of Solitude: The Other Mexico, Return to the Labyrinth of Solitude, Mexico and the United ...

Octavio Paz

Grove Press, 1994

Well Done, Octavio Paz!
Looking at this book through a young American male, undergraduate student, double-majoring in Integrated Social Studies (Education) and History's eyes, this book was challenging to read. However, as I once read recently in an education text, "if anything is odd, ...

Putin's Labyrinth: Spies, Murder, and the Dark Heart of the New Russia

Steve Levine

Random House, 2008

Compelling read that brings the news to life
Putin's Labyrinth is the kind of book that only a journalist -- a particularly good journalist -- could write. It takes the news and pulls and prods at it, showing you how it turns on the actions of people, some ordinary, some extraordinary. I'd been mildly curious ...

Thunderspire Labyrinth (Dungeons & Dragons, Adventure H2)

Richard Baker, Mike Mearls

Wizards of the Coast, 2008

Very encouraging second showing.
The Wizards adventure team had me worried with Keep on the Shadowfell. The poor quality material, recycled maps, multiple discrepencies between module rules and the core books, and overall poor production value had me concerned about the future of the adventure path. ...

The Battle of the Labyrinth (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Book 4)

Rick Riordan

Hyperion Book CH, 2008

This Demi-God Rocks!
Another stellar installment in the Percy Jackson series. The labyrinth details are inventive and fascinating and the revelation about Pan is though-provoking. These books are fun, funny, and educational. Keep 'em coming!

The Devil's Labyrinth: A Novel

John Saul

Ballantine Books, 2008

The Devil's Labyrinth
I am a very big fan of John Saul's work. I think that he takes evil in it's purest form and has no problem making it tangible. Many authors would rather have a psychological edge, never letting the reader "see the monster". In this book, John Saul again creates ...

Through the Labyrinth: The Truth About How Women Become Leaders (Center for Public Leadership)

Alice H. Eagly, Linda L. Carli

Harvard Business School Press, 2007

All Women Must Read This Book
Women have needed a replacement for the glass ceiling metaphor for quite some time. Drs. Eagly and Carli have given us a wonderful new metaphor, the labyrinth, that better describes the obstacles and realities women face. For years we all have been bombarded with the ...

Edge of Recall, The

Kristen Heitzmann

Bethany House, 2008

New Favorite book and author!
Without a doubt, this book and Kristen Heitzmann are two of my favorite things now. From the first chapter, I was thrown into a whirl asking a thousand silent questions trying to understand and just comprehend what was going on. The more I read, the more I needed to ...

House of Leaves

Mark Z. Danielewski

Pantheon, 2000

I promised myself to only write reviews of my top 5 Fav. books and this is one of them...
So here we go. I read some of the reviews before mine, and I must disagree with some of them...I first read this book when I was 19 and I didn't find it "challenging " in anyway if anything, this is the first literature piece that I have encounter , that makes you ...

Labyrinths of Reason: Paradox, Puzzles, and the Frailty of Knowledge

Anchor, 1989

Great book on logic and the meaning of 'knowing'
I have to confess - I bought this book after reading Mr. Poundstone's book 'How would you move mount Fuji?' I probably never would have bought this book otherwise - and I'm glad I did. So first of all - this is not a riddle book. Its a philosophy book trying to ...

Exploring the Labyrinth: A Guide for Healing and Spiritual Growth

Melissa Gayle West

Broadway, 2000

exciting must read
I am a longtime scholar of the labyrinth, and labyrinth enthusiast. Ms. West's book is by far the best book I have ever read on labyrinths, and I believe I've read them all. I had never before had the courage to make a labyrinth, though. Ms. West's clear and simple ...

Walking a Sacred Path: Rediscovering the Labyrinth as a Spiritual Practice

Lauren Artress

Riverhead Trade, 2006

Deeper meaning to the labyrinth
This is an excellent explanation of the meanings behind the labyrinth. I have cleared a 36' square in my yard and plan on having my own rock meditation labyrinth.

The Sacred Path Companion: A Guide to Walking the Labyrinth to Heal and Transform

Lauren Artress

Riverhead Trade, 2006

Happy in Minnesota
The Sacred Path Companion is just that: a companion for walking the labyrinth. It is perfect for my friends who ask, "What's a labyrinth?" It is far more accessible than her last book, although I liked that one too. I've been buying this book & giving it to all my ...

Tetragrammaton Labyrinth Vol 3 (Tetragrammaton Labryinth)

Seven Seas, 2008

When darkness falls on the foggy streets of London, demons and monsters emerge to prey on human life. But demons aren’t the only ones prowling the streets. Two women stand as humanity’s defense against the darkness — a young gun-toting nun named Sister Meg and her mysterious, eternally youthful, scythe-wielding partner, Angela. ...
