Mistaken Identity: Two Families, One Survivor, Unwavering Hope
Don & Susie Van Ryn, Newell, Colleen & Whitney Cerak

Howard Books, 2008

Great Book
I really enjoyed this book; I thought it was a really quick read. I appreciated how much detail the family went into explaining the night of the accident, the days of the burial services, and also when they discovered Whitney was still alive. I believe this is a very ...

Whaling Might Not be the Way to Go
If you are considering changing carrers to become a nineteenth century whaler, you might want to read this book about whaling, tragedy. cannibalism, and survivial. It has it all. Philbrick has done an excellent job telling the story of the doomed whaler, Essex. It's ...
  
  











  



  
What Happened: Inside the Bush White House and Washington's Culture of Deception
Scott McClellan

PublicAffairs, 2008

What Happened
Now I understand why Scott wrote this book. Being a religious person and having been lied to by the Bush Inner Circle, he felt betrayed by the people he was trying to protect. I would have written the book also. Anyone who has not read this book is missing out on ...

Can Love Conquer All?
Innocent love is the most pure... and the sight of those who are in that beautiful whirlwind of its hypnotic clutches is a sight to behold. Is it true? "Is youth wasted on the young." Sometimes, sometimes not. Romeo and Juliet is the most known western love ...

The Children of Húrin
J.R.R. Tolkien

Houghton Mifflin, 2007

One of my favorite stories of all time
First and foremost I'm a Tolkien fan. I've read mostly all his writing, and I like all of it, (though I haven't read Roverandum or Leaf by Niggle or whatever they're called). His fantasy, in my opinion, is top notch. So that should give you some idea of my personal ...
  
  











  



  
American Creation: Triumphs and Tragedies at the Founding of the Republic
Joseph J. Ellis

Knopf, 2007

brilliant as usual
I have read so much about this time period that only Joseph Ellis will give me an excuse to once again read about early US history. The problem with most popular historic studies is that it tends to be littered with the adjectives of "brave, bold, noble, ...
  
  











  



  
The Three Theban Plays (Penguin Classics)
Sophocles

Penguin Classics, 2000

Translations
Researching translations is never an easy task, and in this case, where you'll have to search on Amazon for the title and the translator to find what you want, it's particularly difficult. Here's what I've found by comparing several editions: 1. David Grene ...
  
  











  



  
Atonement
Ian McEwan

Anchor, 2007

Which to experience first....
Should you read the book first or watch the movie? Really, you could choose either. I read the book before seeing the movie, and it was one of the best reading experiences I've ever had. The prose is lush but not overdone, the characters finely drawn, and the plot ...
  
  











  



  
Aeschylus I: Oresteia: Agamemnon, The Libation Bearers, The Eumenides (The Complete Greek Tragedies)
Aeschylus

University Of Chicago Press, 1969

The Greatest of Greek Tragedy
Aeschylus I (the Oresteia) probably best epitomized Greek tragedy. This compelling trilogy told the stories of endless cycles of violence in the House of Atreus that stretched across generations and only ended when peace and harmony took its place. In "Agamemnon", the ...
  
  











  



  
At First Sight
Nicholas Sparks

Warner Books, 2005

WoW
Great sequel to "True Believer" as it continues right where it left off. Alot of twist and turns and of course with Sparks writing always alot of drama. Great Overall book with surprise ending. If you have "True Believer" you have to get this to continue the wonderful ...

Tragedy & Hope: A History of the World in Our Time

One of the Most Important Books You Will Ever Read

The Bush Tragedy
Jacob Weisberg

Random House, 2008

The Bush Tragedy
The service to get it to me was great, faster than expected. The book is outstanding. What an insight to the man we didn't elect twice.
