I can't think of a better way to indulge during a holiday weekend than watching a classic film.
Part of the pleasure in watching this movie for the umpteenth time is waiting for the great lines to come around. Butterfly McQueen’s Prissy: “Lawzy, we got to have a doctor. I don’t know nothin’ ’bout birthin’ babies.”

| What a strange little book. Considering that it was written in 1998, the disquieting portrait it presents of Israeli society (as viewed through the microcosm of a small village) is quite striking. I'm haunted by some of the vignettes: the sound of di...more | |

| I didn't appreciate this book when I read it in high school -- why did they think that teenagers would get it? -- but it's really a remarkable work. Greene reminds me of Hemingway in For Whom the Bell Tolls, but The Power and the Glory provides more...more | |

| I read bits and pieces of this one in the New Yorker and Atlantic Monthly and wasn't turned on to the book, but found myself in the airport with nothing to read and downloaded it on a whim (the beauty of Kindle). Once I started it, I was completely a...more | |

| Terribly beautiful. I've admired Grossman's work for years, but I've felt that he always stopped short of exploring the full extent of the situations he describes, whether in his journalism or his fiction. This book shatters the glass wall and at tim...more | |
