Dead Silence (The Stillwater Trilogy, Book 1)

Brenda Novak

Mira, 2006

What a wonderful book. I didn't want to stop reading.
Complex characters. It kept me up late at night. It was in my thoughts throughout the day until I finished it. The romance and feelings of family love were wonderfully satisfying at the end. Just lovely. This book is the first in a trilogy. The second and third ...

Power of Silence

Carlos Castaneda

Washington Square Press, 1991

To Carlos, with gratitude
Carlos Castaneda was one of the most controversial writers of the twentieth century. Some in academia branded him a fraud for claiming his stories were biographical rather than fiction, while lauding him as a great novelist for exposing a mass audience to otherwise ...

Silence: Lectures and Writings

John Cage

Wesleyan, 1961

Essential
Not just for musicians, but for anybody who is interested in music or philosophy. Cage's ideas presented in the work are fascinating in and of themselves, but even the manner in which he physically notates his thoughts on paper is amazing to see. There's a common ...

Silence

Shusaku Endo

Taplinger Publishing Company, 1980

Silence
When this book was selected by my book club, I did not want to read it. Christians being tortured in 17th century Japan. Also, it seemed very Catholic to me and I am not a Catholic. It just didn't sound good. When I finally overcame my reluctance and started to ...

The Silence of Adam: Becoming Men of Courage in a World of Chaos

Larry Crabb, Don Michael Hudson, ...

Zondervan, 1998

Profound---At Times Overwhelmingly Thought Provoking
I am a woman. I'm only on page 90-something, but I find this book to be profound. My personal experience tells me that men ARE too passive. Their silence is K I L L I N G their marriages, their children, and MEN's own spirits!! This is not meant to be judgmental, ...

Silence: A Thirteenth-Century French Romance

Sarah Roche-Mahdi

Michigan State Univ Pr, 1999

A remarkable story of feminsm, heroism, symbolism; a classic
I had the luck to read this book in a literature class, and it has become a very personal love of mine. The story is beautiful and the characters are so full of symbolism; it is a feminine version of Homer's "The Odyssey", but with a feminist theme. The history behind ...

Bedford/St. Martin's, 2004

A fascinating and illuminating book
This is a fascinating history of Western civilization that goes beyond the customary emphasis on kings and battles to looking also at changes in the culture and ideas of people over the centuries. It's so enjoyable that it is bedside reading for me, though still ...

The Silence of the Lambs (Hannibal Lector)

Thomas Harris

St. Martin's Griffin, 1998

Can You Hear the Lambs Screaming?
It is a cliche to say the book is always better than the movie. It is not. Although rare, one can point to the sluggish novel THE BOURNE IDENTITY or the real life trek across the Australian Outback of RABBIT PROOF FENCE as instances of the movie far outperforming the ...
