bookshelves: non-fiction, read-in-2009, read-in-grad-school
Everyone else seems to be reading this for class which is never a good motivator (so of course it will seem boring, right?); it is non-fiction and a theory text so it won't really be riveting. However, I gave it full 5 stars because it really can help someone who actually WANTS to learn about rhetoric to learn the foundations.

Hauser gives clear definitions of a wide variety of rhetorical terms with simple explanations. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/29598084 to: The Brothers Karamazov (Paperback) by Fyodor Dostoevsky

bookshelves: read-in-2009
Had a difficult time swallowing the book's Antisemitism in the beginning. However, I think Scott redeems himself by the end because it seems to me that the hero of the novel is not Ivanhoe, who is more talked about than actually seen in action during the story. No, the hero is Rebecca. She may not lift a lance or sword but really it is her story we watch with curiosity, her dialog we enjoy, her courage we admire, her piety we envy, and her tragic romance we pity. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/67482065 to: White Fang (Graphic Classics) by Jack London
