"Do you think it is ethical to imprison someone for the sake of the good. To prevent further illness to others. I am looking at both sides . Back in the turn of the century they did not know a lot about illness. So, would you isolate and imprison someone force ably, and treat them like a common criminal. that is a good question." — Apr 15, 2013 10:56am

I have so many emotions after reading Reliable Wife. I did not read the synopsis of the novel. All I knew was that it took place in Wisconsin somewhere and takes place in the past. I did not expect this kind of novel. The story is bleak and Gothic in...more |

The Chaperone By Laura Moriarty I enjoyed reading The Chaperone. First, it is historical fiction, it takes place in the 1920's. It is based loosely on the silent film actress, Louise Brooks. It takes place in two locations in Wichita, Kansas, and New Y...more |

I really liked so much of this book (including Elizabeth McGovern's excellent narration), but it just went on so long. I felt like it had several false endings, places where I was finished but then it kept going.
Maybe the probelm is just that I di... " Read more of this review » |

“Books can be possessive, can't they? You're walking around in a bookstore and a certain one will jump out at you, like it had moved there on its own, just to get your attention. Sometimes what's inside will change your life, but sometimes you don't even have to read it. Sometimes it's a comfort just to have a book around. Many of these books haven't even had their spines cracked. 'Why do you buy books you don't even read?' our daughter asks us. That's like asking someone who lives alone why they bought a cat. For company, of course.”
