| My students are big fans of John Green, and now, I can see why. I hope this book finds the wide audience it deserves. | |

I hold in high regard any book that can make me cry. Maybe because such occasions are so rare, the novels that bring tears to my eyes stick out in memory more than most.
I have a feeling "The Fault in Our Stars" will be one of those titles. This is... " Read more of this review » |

Um, hmmm. This definitely did not live up to Divergent. That's why it took me over 2 weeks to read it, while Divergent took a day. I think that the first 60% of the book could have been cut down to maybe 10%. Once Tris turned herself into the Erud...

You might think that it would be impossible for Alison Bechdel to top Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic. After all, that book is both an incredibly profound and well-researched memoir and a meticulously well-wrought work of graphic art. But you would...

“At the college where I teach, I'm surrounded by circus people. We aren't tightrope walkers or acrobats. We don't breathe fire or swallow swords. We're gypsies, moving wherever there's work to be found. Our scrapbooks and photo albums bear witness to our vagabond lives: college years, grad-school years, instructor-mill years, first-job years. In between each stage is a picture of old friends helping to fill a truck with boxes and furniture. We pitch our tents, and that place becomes home for a while. We make families from colleagues and students, lovers and neighbors. And when that place is no longer working, we don't just make do. We move on to the place that's next. No place is home. Every place is home. Home is our stuff. As much as I love the Cumberland Valley at twilight, I probably won't live there forever, and this doesn't really scare me. That's how I know I'm circus people. ”

“A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own. The great instrument of moral good is the imagination.”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley, A Defence of Poetry and Other Essays

“I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.”
