	Evan read and liked emily's review of A Farewell to Arms: "I first read this book in high school. Maybe because I was young, maybe because it was summer reading, or maybe because I read it immediately following The Invisible Man (intense!), I more or less just slid through the book, enjoying the love story a...more " 1 comment

	read in September, 2007 Evan said: "Hypnotic, pulls you straight out into its world, with horror and total immersion.

	Evan gave to: The Once and Future King (Paperback) by T.H. White	my rating:
	Evan said: "Apart from some lovely passages, this book couldn't decided what mode it wanted to be in: pastoral fantasy, or madcap cartoon. People praise the mixed tone, but I found it distracting. " add a comment

	Evan said: "Feudal Japan with a dash of magic. Sparingly written but lush, full of gripping action, a few castles, sword fighting, treachery, more than one beautiful princess, a few stunning passages of descriptive writing, villains you hate, and conflicted her...more " add a comment
	Evan gave to: Altered Carbon: A Takeshi Kovacs Novel (Takeshi Kovacs Novels) by Richard K. Morgan	my rating:

	Evan gave to: The Ghost Stories of Muriel Spark (Paperback) by Muriel Spark	my rating:
	Evan said: "Read this for the short story "Portobello Road." Pristine, deep, twisted, and beautiful. It's as good as anything Hemingway ever wrote and twice as charming. " add a comment

	recommended for: Everyone. read in September, 2007 Evan said: "A few ideas were so surprising that I had to put the book down and think about them for a while before I could read on.
