Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close: A Novel
Jonathan Safran Foer
Mariner Books
, 2006
My favorite book...
This book is hilarious, and yet very thought provoking. I may warn you however, it is not for everybody, and you have to have a very open mind going into it. This is honestly the best book that I have ever read. It follows many themes, the death of Oscar's father in ...
Everything Is Illuminated
Jonathan Safran Foer
Harper Perennial
, 2005
Don't believe the anti-hype.
This may be one of the most humorous tragedies I have read. The novel is set up with three parts per chapter: the "main story" (as narrated by the established secondary character, who apparently learned English mostly from a thesaurus), the "other story" (by the ...
The Future Dictionary of America
Common Assets Action Fund
, 2005
Hopeful
This book is a positive contribution to our current state of disunion in the United States. Yes, there are entries that look back at the Shrub administration with contempt, but others look at a positive future where we overcame the myopia, nepotism, and greed of the ...

Bernard Malamud

Masters all
I recently purchased The Monster of Frankenstein, Dick Briefer's Horror Comic Epic" and was so enthralled by this golden age comic that I had to have more. "Masters of Comic Art", a reexamination of pop culture comics morphed in to fine art, is a useful overview ...

sweet
The general impression is that it's a collection of stories that the authors would have like to read when they were kids. Some of them may be scary to the announced age group (4-7) but most are just sweet. For the adult many of them will remind the reader how it was to ...

you should read this
Jonathan Safran Foer's use of the English language is beautiful. While he has a very different style of writing and it may take a little while to get into it, I don't see what there is not to like. I'm not sure which I liked better- this or his "Extremely Loud and ...
Everything Is Illuminated: A Novel

Superb.... a premium novel ;)
Regarding Everything is Illuminated, I won't go into specifics about plot and message, because this is one of those rare novels which defies description and which ends up being so much more than the sum of its parts. If I tried to abbreviate here the story or meaning, ...
The Street of Crocodiles and Other Stories (Penguin Classics)
Bruno Schulz
Penguin Classics
, 2008
If I could save one life from history --
If I could cancel one murder and save one life from history, I'd save Bruno Schulz, killed by the Nazis in 1942. If I could save one lost book, I'd save Schulz's 'Messiah'. I can't. At least there is this book of strange treasures, Schulz's collected works. Actually, ...

the blackbird whistling
I received this book from an old friend who I hadn't seen in nearly twenty years--she showed up unannounced, spent a few hours sitting in the sun, and then disappeared just as unexpectedly. I still don't know if she meant to leave the book behind, but I've decided that ...
