What's the Matter with Kansas?: How Conservatives Won the Heart of America (Paperback) by Thomas Frank |
my rating:
|
atthesametime said:
"
This book has got to be one of the most read (or at least most discussed) political commentary texts of the last ten years. It seems like everyone I know is familiar with the thesis – that Kansas is an example of what is strange (and Frank thinks...more " |

Ireland for Beginners (Hardcover) by Phil Evans, Eileen Pollock |
my rating:
|
|
atthesametime said:
"A comic book telling of the history of Ireland. This is from the early days of the “beginners” series, when the books still had a distinctly left political character. This one lets its politics show by being largely sympathetic to the Irish strug...more

The Lovely Bones (Mass Market Paperback) by Alice Sebold |
my rating:
|
|
read in January, 2004
atthesametime said:
"Sebold walks a fine line between cheesy and brilliant here. Dead child narrators are not an easy trick, and at times the book is a little maudlin. But, the scene where the child narrates her own murder gae me chills. Definitely worth a look.
