The Book of Air and Shadows: A Novel
Michael Gruber
Harper Paperbacks
, 2008
More Literary Thrillers & more Michael Gruber Please!
I'm relatively new to the world of literary thrillers. I don't know how many of them are out there but I have lots of fun research to do. I ordered The Book of Air and Shadows in the MP3 format. One whole book on one or two CD size discs! That on its own was like ...
The Quest for Shakespeare
Joseph Pearce
Ignatius Press
, 2008
Wonderful book
Joseph Pearce proves Shakespeare's Catholicism with such a resounding slam dunk that it seems pointless to prolong any argument on the issue. Shakespeare was Catholic. Deal with it. It's time now to proceed to a serious discussion of the implications of this fact. ...

A Midsummer Night's Dream (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press
, 2004
Ill met by moonlight, proud reader?
I must say that until I saw a simple, highschool play of this particular work, I was deathly afraid of SHakespeare, thinking it boring and only something for people over fifty to discuss and teach. WEll, i was wrong. This particular story brings in classical ...
The Wednesday Wars
Gary D. Schmidt
Clarion Books
, 2007
the little I read was a joy
I'm not sure what the target audience for this book is, but I love young adult/children's novels and I'm 23. I browsed this book when I was in the US (cannot find it in Australia to finish it) and decided to skim the first page. That turned into the first few chapters ...
Hamlet (The New Folger Library Shakespeare)
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press
, 2003
If you want to read Shakespeare its has to be The new folger Library
If you ever thought about reading Shakespeare but was turned off or intimidated by the old english, not so with the new folger editions. Your basically reading the play on all the right sided pages , with the left pages reserved for all the definitions and explanations ...
Shakespeare: The World as Stage (Eminent Lives)
Bill Bryson
Eminent Lives
, 2007
typical Bryson--entertaining and informative
Bill Bryson has become one of my favorite writers. Whether he is writing about his travels, the English language, or the world of science, he writes with wit and enthusiasm. Here, he applies his typical humor and zest for knowledge to a person about whom we know very ...
Shakespeare's Wife
Germaine Greer
Harper
, 2008
Brilliant but flawed revisionism
This book, ostensibly about Ann Hathaway Shakespeare (1556-1623), is packed with fascinating research, but a lot of it is not about Ann directly, and some of the connections are a bit tenuous. Because of this, I found it a difficult book to get into; but having ...
Romeo and Juliet (Folger Shakespeare Library)
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press
, 2004
Romeo & Juliet summary by fernando f.
Romeo and Juliet was an epic story the meaning of the story to me was two lovers with parents keeping them away from each other. I personally really liked the book because it tells people how you can't hide true love because then it would just make things worse for the ...
The Merchant of Venice (Folger Shakespeare Library)
William Shakespeare
Washington Square Press
, 2004
Much more than meets the eye
What exactly was Shakespeare attempting with The Merchant of Venice? Was Shakespeare anti-Semitic? Does the play promote anti-Semitism? What was Shakespeare's purpose in writing such a work? As the play opens, the eponymous Antonio's dearest friend Bassanio ...
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
Tom Stoppard
Grove Press
, 1994
Absurdly Tragic, Tragically Absurd
This play is such a gem. It has entertained me for years (30 years I believe). I cannot recommend it to enough people.
Macbeth (Shakespeare Made Easy)
William Shakespeare
Barron's Educational Series
, 1985
You'll get Shakespeare after reading this
My World Literature professor suggested the "Shakespeare Made Easy" series after I told her that I would have difficulty understanding the Bard. I not only (finally!) understood what was happening but, in the future, will buy the other books in the series to do some ...

AMAZON! PLEASE READ THIS
Can you please take down that disgraceful "editorial review" you've allowed to creep its slimy way onto this site (and somehow barnes and nobles as well? who is pushing this stuff?). It is a smear on this book's page, and frankly it makes your site look tawdry and ...
