Thoughts on the Phantom Menace

New Star Wars is out. And, as any fan does, I watched a few of the earlier Star Wars films in preparation. As a child of the 90's, I have a particular fondness for the Prequels. So I started with The Phantom Menace. Sadly, it's not as good as I want it to be, or even as I remember it being. I've been mulling over it since, and I decided I need to get my thoughts out rather than allow them t Read more of this blog post »

Jesse liked Eliot's review of The Underground Railroad: "Lush, eloquent prose and a compelling narrative. Sprawling, astonishing, moving, intelligent, riveting. If this isn’t a “great American novel” there is no such thing. "

Gladwell is infinitely readable; knocked this out in a few days. He also has an astounding ability to make connections between aspects of stories that few others would make (I sure wouldn’t). This book does an excellent job of pointing out how comple ...more

Jesse rated a book it was amazing The Epic of Russian Literature: from its origins through Tolstoy by Marc Slonim	Error rating book. Refresh and try again. Rate this book Clear rating 1 of 5 stars 2 of 5 stars 3 of 5 stars 4 of 5 stars 5 of 5 stars
An excellent survey of Russian lit. So many titles that piqued my curiosity, but also good historical context as well as literary context of how they are developing, contradicting, and combining other literary styles of the country and time.
