Pirates. Magic. Zombies. Skeletons. Interesting plot. Interesting use of magic. What more could you ask for? ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45877486 to: Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Life (Hardcover) by Alison Weir
Somehow, and perhaps not surprisingly, once Henry comes on stage, Eleanor becomes a bit player in her own life. But, even so, there's a lot to be learned, and Weir does a good job bringing vast swaths of the 12th Century to life. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/39270877 Why I Write (Penguin Great Ideas) by George Orwell

A collection of distinctly American fairy tales. The narrator is skeptical, pragmatic, and tends to approve of roll-up-the-sleaves problem solvers. Being fairy tales, this approach genererally succeeds in a dreamlike way (as opposed to a dreamy way). On the surface, the characters aren't American types: no lumberjacks or frontiersmen, no washerwomen or Colonial patriots here. This is a world of giants and dwarfs, ifrits and griffins. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/36615095 The Original Frankenstein (Hardcover) by Mary Shelley
