recommended to Emily by:
Couldn't help getting a copy when the movies came out
recommended for: Anyone wanting something different read in May, 2003
Emily said:
"Of course the Lord of the Rings may not be for everyone. If you loved the movies then you need to read the books themselves that Tolkien himself said that he "wrote for his own amusement and no one else's" yet people from all over the world...more

recommended to Emily by:
English Professor
recommended for: George Orwell fans
Emily said:
"I read this in school and even though it is not the best story, it is probably the only story that I remember out of my first level freshman english class. The language is very discriptive and vivid to the reader. Although, there isn't a great depth ...more

Stumbled onto it
recommended for: Anyone

recommended to Emily by:
Who hasn't?
recommended for: Anyone up to reading it...
Emily said:
"Probably Shakespeare's best and most brilliant work. Extremely emotional, spiritual, and psychological, I believe this to be the most intimate, and introverted work he ever did. Branagh's version is a very good adaptation, especially for someone who ...more
