An amazing chance to read a diary of a Russian sailor trapped in
the Arctic. They leave the ice stranded ship to walk and what
they endure it hard to fathom.
Interested in Arctic exploration or history at all, a must read.
Translated from Russian. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58403013 to: Firmin (Paperback) by Sam Savage
The cover itself with the bite catches you.
It is a well written story of a rat who can read.
He does not fit in with other rats, nor can he ever
be accepted by humans. It is unique to read about his life
but it is also a rather sad, dark book.
Makes you never want to be a rat. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/14069.The_Inquisitive_Bibliophiles Judy joined the The Inquisitive Bibliophiles group. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45633511 to: Death in a Prairie House: Frank Lloyd Wright and the Taliesin Murders (Paperback) by William R. Drennan
It received three stars as opposed to two only because of the story that seems to be so hidden yet is a crucial part of Wisconsin history.
The author (a University professor) wrote this like a paper waiting to be graded.
Full of pompous words that added nothing.
If you can get past that, the story will shock you and give you quite an insight into the character of famous Frank Lloyd Wright. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45633470 to: Girl with a Pearl Earring (Paperback) by Tracy Chevalier
I did enjoy this book. I would have liked it to be longer with perhaps more history of the time. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37179926 to: Under the Banner of Heaven (Paperback) by Jon Krakauer
This book scared me.
It illustrates how vulnerable we are to
someone with charisma and how willing
we are to believe - searching for the
answer as to why we are here.
The word "cult" comes to mind.
What is really scary is how something
so unbelievable can become fact and
grow to become a huge religion.
