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 ...
