Brave New World
Aldous Huxley

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006

Dystopia, i long for thee

+ Good Book
+ Satire at its best

I purchased Brave New World after reading 1984, and while I must confess that I enjoyed Orwell's book just a little bit more, Huxley's work was still an immediately compelling read. I think what I liked best was just how "british" this future was, by which I mean, everything seemed so very posh and ...
  
  











  



  
The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown

Doubleday, 2003

Amazing book

+ Lets get real: Great FICTIONAL story,
+ ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I HAVE EVER READ!

An absolutely amazingly fascinating book. It has made even the most die-hard atheists interested in religion. No matter how much is true, it just doesn't matter. This book has made the average book reader think, discuss and question so many things in our everyday life and existence. I spent an ...

A Farewell to Arms (Scribner Classics)
Ernest Hemingway

Scribner, 1997

__Underscore.

+ Profound. Sad. Moving.
+ A good, quick read

What beauty. What excellent prose. There is little I can say that has not already been said about Hemingway's style. So, I will keep my review short and blunt. This is one of the select few finest American literary works of the twentieth century. If you have any interest in Hemingway's writing, ...

The Road (Oprah's Book Club)
Cormac McCarthy

Vintage Books, 2007

5 stars versus ANYTHING (except maybe the Bible)

+ Relentlessly downbeat

This is a literary work of art by one of the greatest living authors. The subject matter can be dark, but for those giving it anything less than 5 stars... I guess those folks really need to do some homework. Why am I reviewing it? This book is the single GREATEST Father's Day gift for a man ...
  
  











  



  
The Catcher in the Rye
J.D. Salinger

Back Bay Books, 2001

Will stick with you

+ Best Banned Books Required Reading List

This is the kind of book that people of all ages remember their whole lives. It's indescribable how the story can sweep you off into Holden's life, the angst he feels, and the time in which he lived. Truly a great work that is worth reading if you have not and worth reading again if you have.

Catch-22: A Novel (Simon & Schuster Classics)
Joseph Heller

Simon & Schuster, 1999

Best Book I Ever Read

+ Most Brilliant Satire
+ Stubborn, heroic innocence in a mad world

Catch-22 is a jarring, thrilling, hysterical exposition of the oppression and dominance which pervades lives and lifestyles in the modern era. Full of classic dialogue, superb characters, wonderfully narrated, Catch-22 may be the best book ever written. A heartbreaking achievement of staggering ...
