The Quiet Game
Greg Iles
Signet, 2000
Greg Iles Sets High Expectations
This is the first book I've ever read by Greg Iles and I thought it was a gripping novel. I enjoyed it from beginning to end. So much, in fact, that I fear none of his other novels will measure up to this. Time will tell.
If you've never read any of Greg Iles ...

The Very Quiet Cricket
Eric Carle
Philomel, 1990
A Great Sleepy Time Book
We love The Very Quiet Cricket, one of Eric Carle's best. It is the story of a very young cricket who wants to talk to the world around him, but he hasn't yet learned how. He rubs and rubs his wings together, but "nothing happens. Not a sound." Until the surprise ...

All Quiet on the Western Front
Erich Maria Remarque
Ballantine Books, 1987
Should be required reading for our political representatives
I grew up playing war like every other kid and had a somewhat glamorized view of war. When we went to war in Iraq for the first time I thought it was kind of cool. Being a Jewish person who lost a great deal of their family in the Holocaust having any sympathy for any ...

A wonderful book!
A Quiet Place is a wonderful book to help kids realize that it is good for them to be quiet and think. With all the noise they experience during the day and their constant activities (including music, television, computers, electronic toys, etc.), it is so important ...

The Quiet American (Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition)
Graham Greene
Penguin Classics, 2004
Wears well both as literature and political commentary
I recently read THE QUIET AMERICAN directly after having read Greene's THE COMEDIANS. It is striking how similar the two novels are, although they were written about ten years apart. They both deal with political intrigue in a "third world" country (Vietnam in "Quiet ...

Quiet Loud (Leslie Patricelli board books)

Great book!
I bought this book for my niece who is 16 months. She too can be a quiet and a loud baby at times. This is a great book for toddlers because of the bright colors and length of story.

Beautiful pictures
My 2 year old daughter loves this book (and all the other ones in this series). She will go to her bookshelf at bedtime and pick this one. I like looking at the pictures too! Hopefully when we visit museums in the future she will appreciate the paintings she sees due ...

A Circle of Quiet
Madeleine L'engle
HarperOne, 1984
A Book of Life
I bought A Circle of Quiet for $2 AUD at a local library and it's blessed me beyond all thinking. I agree with the reviewer below; what makes this book so tremblingly wonderful is what Madeleine L'Engle doesn't say as much as what she does. Written only a few years ...

Doing Philosophy: An Introduction Through Thought Experiments
Theodore Schick, Lewis Vaughn
McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2005
A tad dogmatic, but very clear and analytical....
Schick and Vaughn do a fine job of presenting and explaining philosophical problems and theories about free will, the relationship of body and mind, personal identity, morality, the existence of God, and the limits of knowledge. Their presentation is rather rigorous ...
