"
The shininess of a product that's clinging to Jane Austen's comet just is too much to resist sometimes. It's how I find myself reading such regretful things as Mr. Darcy's Daughters or a book with the lost love scenes of Jane Austen. Generally, such ...more

Black Elephants said:
"
This collection of sonnets written by Neruda for his wife will cause great feeling on the reader's part on many levels: a writerly level, an emotional level, a mental level, a sensory level. The poems ooze with taste, touch, smell and sight. They're ...more

While at the beach, I picked up this read because I'd heard so much about it as a seminal work of American science fiction. While I don't know if I'd agree, I would say that I'm glad I read the book. Butler definitely presents an intriguing story tha ...more

Black Elephants said:
"
The Sookie Stackhouse mysteries are fun, quick and frothy reads that combine several genres—scifi, fantasy, paperback romance—rather well. I'm not usually one for "vampire" reads but I think Harris does a good job with several things:

ZOMG!! The Hunger Games is a completely satisfying read that mixing gladiatorial games with Ender's Game. Collins writes a very well-rounded world in a decent number of pages--not too long or short. I picked the book up, just expecting to read a few ...more

ZOMG! I say this with not the same amount of zomg-ness as I did for The Hunger Games, but it definitely is up there.
