“Adam was but human -- this explains it all. He did not want the apple for the apple’s sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden. The mistake was in not forbidding the serpent: then he would have eaten the serpent.”

The story was decent I just couldn't get over the choppy, unexciting writing.

To illistrate:
"I would stop at the concierge's dest and ask for the key and she would stand by the elevator and then we would get in the elevator and it would go up very slowly clicking at all the floors and then our floor and the boy would open the door and stand there and she would step out and I would step out..." ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76481493 to: The War of the Worlds (Paperback) by H.G.

For years I've listened to KQED around Halloween to catch the broadcast. I didn't expect the novel to be much different but I totally enjoyed reading it myself! ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/76411463 to: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (Mass Market Paperback) by Maya Angelou

I couldn't live without this book!

It was my starter cookbook, first introducing me to the ease and rewards of cooking. Yet over the years I have learned there are some things that just can't be improved. For instance, the pecan pie, lemon tart, and pie crust recipes are perfect and simple. Also, when I need a taste of home (the Midwest) I can find a navy bean soup recipe, or such, close by. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/69866539 to: The Godfather (Paperback) by Mario Puzo
