Alexander Mccall Smith Pantheon, 2008 Try the audio version If you enjoy reading about the #1 Ladies detective agency, but would like to putter in the garden or house at the same time - or listen while commuting - try the audio version. They're even more hilarious than reading!             Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood Marjane Satrapi Pantheon, 2004 Awesome Experience Although this book is written like a comic book, don't take it lightly. The story is a deep and meaningful one. It is a pretty fast read but not as fast as you'd think...I highly recommend it!             The Leopard: A Novel Giuseppe Di Lampedusa Pantheon, 2007 A Real Classic That the Leopard is a great work of literature -- or as E. Said terms it, a great "late work" -- is now undisputed. This status is made all the more remarkable and poignant by the Leopard being Lampedusa's first novel and only being published posthumously. I ...             The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives Leonard Mlodinow Pantheon, 2008 Thought-Provoking Examples of Randomness in Our Lives Instead of repeating other reviewers, let's focus on other content. Arguments about the astronomical improbably of a DNA chance match are disingenuous. A false match can also occur because of lab error, and this is far, far more likely than a genuine DNA chance ...             The Complete Persepolis: Now a Major Motion Picture Marjane Satrapi Pantheon, 2007 Totally absolutely loved it Without harping too much on what has already been said about the political observations that Satrapi makes or her commentary on the limits faced by everyone (and most especially) women in Iran, the truly inspirational achievement of this work is how honest she can be ...             The Age of American Unreason Susan Jacoby Pantheon, 2008 Tracing the Decline of American Culture and the American Intellect Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Bill O'Reilly. Jay-Z, J. Lo, O.J., Jon Benet, and Jolie. America's Got Talent, Baby Borrowers, Wife Swap, Wipeout, Greatest American Dog, American Gladiators, and I Survived a Japanese Game Show.

Upon reading the preceding, uniformly glowing reviews, I couldn't help but wonder if maybe they were written by friends of the author - this is a book by a fish paleontologist, after all. But even after a few pages, I could understand the enthusiasm. This is a gem of a ...             House of Leaves Mark Z. Danielewski Pantheon, 2000 I promised myself to only write reviews of my top 5 Fav. books and this is one of them... So here we go. I read some of the reviews before mine, and I must disagree with some of them...I first read this book when I was 19 and I didn't find it "challenging " in anyway if anything, this is the first literature piece that I have encounter , that makes you ...             Gift from the Sea: 50th Anniversary Edition Anne Morrow Lindbergh Pantheon, 1991 A Few Shells What timeless wisdom there is in this little book. Although it was written many decades ago, the challenges and issues faced by Anne Morrow Lindbergh are the same ones faced by women in today's crazy, bustling world. In fact, although women in Siberia, Cameroon, or ...             Mind's Eye: An Inspector Van Veeteren Mystery (Inspector Van Veeteren Mysteries) Hakan Nesser Pantheon, 2008 Another Chief Inspector to love! This is the first in the Inspector Van Veeteren mystery series. It is an intricately plotted mystery with several murder victims, but it is impossible to say more without giving away a major plot development. So if you buy this book, don't read the description given on ...             Persepolis Boxed Set Marjane Satrapi Pantheon, 2005 Persepolis 1 & 2 In Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi tells a story in words and pictures of her life in Iran.

However, the last thing you would ever probably want to do with some is take them off your shelf and read them. The archaic language, the stultifying syntax, and the obscure references ...             Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History Art Spiegelman Pantheon, 1986 Masterpiece! As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually.

Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true. ...             The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale Art Spiegelman Pantheon, 1996 Masterpiece!
