Elizabeth Gilbert
Penguin (Non-Classics), 2007
Great book
I really enjoyed this book and thought it was insightful. After having gone through a divorce myself, I could relate to the pain. This book probably impacts people more who are in similar situations of journeying through life, reeling from emotional trauma, etc. This ...

Catch-22
Joseph Heller
Simon & Schuster, 1996
Great great book
This book is so good, my weak attempt at a review is not going to do it justice. But I'll try.
I knew before I was half-way through that this is going to be a favorite and I plan to re-read it immediately. The writing is so fresh, the character studies so sharp, ...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)
J.K. Rowling
Arthur A. Levine Books, 1999
J.K. Rowling delivers another stellar Potter adventure.
Who knew if the first Potter book would end up being just a blip on the literary map?
The Chamber of Secrets was a make or break book.
If this book had not done well, the Potter Empire never would have been.
Too bad for all the naysayer's out there, the second book ...

J.K. Rowling brings more maturity to the series.
After the brilliant Prisoner of Azkaban expectations were running very high.
Fortunately, Rowling delivers yet again.
Another book that was almost impossible to put down.
Azkaban was shorter, but this one is really long.
Its length didn't deter anyone from reading ...
