	Jess gave to: Animal Farm (Paperback) by George Orwell	my rating:
	Jess said: "I picked this up and re-read it in a day and a half, and while we're still in the middle of this election, I recommend you do the same. If Napoleon the pig isn't the spitting image of Bush/Cheney/Rove, I don't know what is. " add a comment
	Jess gave to: The Thing About Life Is That One Day You'll Be Dead (Hardcover) by David Shields	my rating:
	read in October, 2008 Jess said: "Reconfirming why I don't read a lot of memoirs, this one was fine, not mindblowing. Between facts about how our bodies break down and musings over his father's incredible longevity, Shields reminds us of the inevitable, and tries to make death seem, ...more " add a comment

	Jess gave to: The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World by Michael Pollan	my rating:
	read in September, 2008 Jess said: "Pollan's question: have we domesticated the plants, or have the plants domesticated us? The answer: Both.

	Jess said: "If you love psychological horror and silliness, you'll love this collection of short stories. Just DO NOT PEEK at the final page of each story. That's where the jaw-dropping twists are found. Fun! Makes me want to go watch a bunch of old Twilight Zon...more " add a comment

	Jess gave to: The Last Town on Earth: A Novel (Hardcover) by Thomas Mullen	my rating:
	read in September, 2008 Jess said: "I'd like to give it 3 and a half stars, actually. It was a slow, heavy read -- usually not my type -- but never lost my interest. The premise: a utopian, union mill town quarantines itself during the 1918 flu outbreak. Suspicion, violence, and regret...more " add a comment
	Jess gave to: Pudd'nhead Wilson (Signet Classics) by Mark Twain	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 Jess said: "This is one of the first in Twain's so-called "pessimistic period." I still haven't decided whether I like his light zingers or his brooding gibes better. " add a comment

	Jess gave to: Pigtopia (Hardcover) by Kitty Fitzgerald	my rating:
	read in August, 2008 Jess said: "It does a great job of exposing human cruelty, but there were some moments where the horror could have been more fully realized. Still, it's a touching story about unconventional friendships, family secrets, and those who do terrible things for the r...more " add a comment
