"Hilary is awesome. It's too bad she won't be president but it was nice reading a light autobiography for once. (But really, I just want Bill back in the White House)

Peter Pan (100th Anniversary Edition) by J. M. Barrie bookshelves: fiction |
my rating:
|
|
read in June, 2008
Dominic said:
"A surprisingly dark telling of the age old fairy tale that we all grew up with. Considering this is the original, I was almost shocked that everything I knew of Peter Pan was based off of this.

Dominic said:
"I never knew that Russian fiction could be funny. Of course this doesn't quite hit the mark of funny but it is quaint and jocular and entertaining to say the least. It speaks volumes for Russian absurdity.

101 Things NOT to Do Before You Die (Paperback) by Robert W. Harris bookshelves: nonfiction |
my rating:
|
|
read in December, 2007
Dominic said:
"I've been using this book for tutoring English at an Airline company. I have to say, it's not great. It's half witted but it tries so hard that it confuses my students enough to talk for about 20 minutes per page.

read in February, 2008
Dominic said:
"A simple but insightful look into the life of another kind of immigrant. So similar at a base level but so different in scale of the stories of Asian Americans that I always read about.

East of Eden (Centennial Edition) by John Steinbeck bookshelves: fiction |
my rating:
|
|
read in January, 2000
Dominic said:
"THOU MAYEST. NEED I SAY MORE.
I read it again while in Korea, and it went by really much too quick. The epic scale that I remembered went by in a flash as I was absorbed by Steinbeck's clash of good vs evil within man himself. " |

Dominic's favorite quotes
" But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.’ "
— John Steinbeck (East of Eden (Centennial Edition))
