This book was interesting, particularly about her troubles with bi-polar disease and her disfunctional childhood. It's amazing anyone can come out the other side with any sense of self and normalcy.

This play is yet another testimony to Solzhenitsyn's faith in the human spirit and his deep concern for mankind. It deas with a great moral question; the obligation of the individual to defend himself and others against the forces of government and technology. (from the back cover)

This book sucked. I read the first hundred pages and then gave up. the author may be a historian but he doesn't write to keep you interested. He gets bogged down into the minutiae of the family tree. The title character evidently commits suicide. If I knew this book would be a testament to my life, I think i would too.

Loved this book. Hate to give it up, but have to make room for all my new books. You just cheer for Celie all through it.

To paraphrase Mark Twain, "There are lies, damn lies and forensics" and this book proves it. Dr. Noguchi states his opinions on the deaths of everybody from Napoleon to Elvis. An interesting read.

A series of essays on a year in the Berkshires in Connecticut. Similar to A Sand County Almanac. He emphasizes most of the things people overlook in their busy lives, such as how many flower petals are on a flower head of Queen Anne's Lace.

Truman Capote's narrative of the slaying of the Clutter family of Holcomb, Kansas, and the subsequent trial and execution of the murderers. Very good.

The science was good, but the character development was lacking. It relied too much on product placement to determine character, as if the fact you wear Prada shoes says all you need to know about the character.

A novel about four Jewish women and the spectrum of Jewish life in New York, from the infamous triangle factory and the low bowery dives to the dazzling spendor of Berliners Department Store on Fifth Avenue. It is also about America in the years before WWI, about suffrage and labor- the two great movements that were sweeping the country- and about the people who were involved in them.

It is hard to believe someone can come out of this harrowing childhood and come out even marginally functional, let alone successful is a miracle. It just proves how resilient children can be.

Third book in the bicentennial series deals with the drive west.
