    <body><![CDATA[Written in 1948 after WWI, this book by Aldous Huxley is an excellent read, especially for fans of Brave New World. Ape and Essence is set in the year 2108, and predicts that progress and civilization may just be the end of humanity as we know it. I would recommend this short read (only 205 pages in...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19891687">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Reading this book wasn't an easy task for me. Not that I disliked it. But the events there and relations were too much close to my psychological challenges, so a few times I was going to throw the book in a window. However, now, 6 years later, I would recommend this book to anyone who thinks that pe...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2477220">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I read this book after reading Brave New World.
