]]> <![CDATA[CeAire added 'Margaret's Story']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56970222 to: Margaret's Story (Florida Trilogy) by Eugenia Price
Although very well written more as a romantic fiction novel the characters did exist as part of Florida's early history even before it became a state. This is, in essense, an autobiography of Margaret Seton Fleming. One her sons grew up to be a Florida governor. Ms. Price took pains to keep historical facts, dates, and locations correct while interweaving them into the storyline. It was also interesting to read and relate the various geographic locations to current day and marvel how traveling some of those distances in an hour or so today took several days to a couple of weeks back then. It makes you appreciate cars! ]]> <![CDATA[CeAire added '99 Novels: The Best in English Since 1939']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52820524 99 Novels: The Best in English Since 1939 (Paperback) by Anthony Burgess

Behind the scenes with used booksellers who deal with mysteries, forgeries, and identity theft in their transactions. And those may not even the subjects of the books they are handling!

CeAire "I have read this book before and enjoyed it very much so I decided to read it again!" ]]> <![CDATA[CeAire added 'Outliers']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48219750 to: Outliers (Hardcover) by Malcolm Gladwell
This book adds to the following of "no person is an island" and no one ever pulls themselves up solely by their own efforts. Brains, high IQ, or physical prowess do not automatically lead to fame and fortune. Everything can hinge on everything from birthdates, cultural backgrounds, educational opportunities and hard work to where your parents came from and where you live now. With indisputable statistics to back up his cases Gladstone makes a great argument that our typical systems of determining who is worthy or not - doesn't always work and society is worse off for it. Gladstone has an easy-to-read style that made me finish the book in about four days of casual pick-up and late night reading. ]]>
