A wonderfully spooky thriller set in a chaotically dystopian post-pandemic world!

A Wonderfully, Painfully Honest Book - and Hopelessly Square just like Me - that I'm gonna read AND gift at Christmas!

This brave woman’s motto is simple: Never say NEVER!

A kid's life in the rubble of post-war Germany is lean - but never mean - for this family for whom Hitler never managed to steal the sparkle of innocence. Highly recommended for YA's!

Merveilleux BD!

Great true stories. You can follow Carolyn on GR, too! I love her animal stories.

Not just about Midway - no, this fantastic book captures the total panoply of the struggle in the Pacific after Pearl Harbour. A Great, riveting read!

Incredibly dark and inventive novel, that feels as if it had been lived.

Now on my first re-read of this remarkable book, written by an equally remarkable female missionary from Britain.

Great book! Last week I read a super memorial piece about this influential writer in the New Yorker, not realizing till a few days later that I owned a copy of the book here in my Kindle collection. I must say I love it.

A short inexpensive bio that is a bit old-fashioned, but FULL of facts about this great pianist's early years and private life, for which I am extremely grateful. It explains a lot about him!

Graphic bio from my wife’s French library, made easier for me to read with its full-colour cartoons! My upstairs reading. Highly recommended for francophone readers…

Art gave new meaning to the word offbeat!

Excellent.

Wow, this is a HILARIOUS read, with lotsa good common ecological sense!

The Good Old Days of the Greatest Generation - our parents and grandparents who lived through WWII - and THRIVED in the Fifties to Seventies. Narrated by CBS former Anchor Tom Brokaw - and Many Others on this super audiobook!

A beautiful short work, "the first work of Beckett's maturity," narrated by my favourite character and personal doppelganger from Dante's Purgatory, Bellacqua - a timid loner like me and Sam Beckett.

SO good! SO true! SO relevant!

Love it.

Fascinating!

Who SAYS the great Adventure Stories are all in the past? Read Lane, and think AGAIN!

I just HAD to revisit the revised version NOW, forty-one years after I read the original version - But then HAD to put off his writing, again, UNTIL I read his masterful 1998 story in the New Yorker about a bored wife consigned to Hell after her plane crashes! I had found my King binge in 1981 sent ME to hell. Now, a believer again, I know I can swallow his bitter pills.

I guess you could say it's just more ghoulish prep work for Halloween....

I LIKE this little primer of modern existential thinking! You may like it too, if you're a young person who wants to know something about philosophy in our age. It bears the green stamp of a youthful writer, but surprisingly makes some good points! A real steal on Kindle for the dogged work it represents.

A real eye-opener! What a fantastic book of history in photos.

"The thing that is very important, and why I'm writing this book, is that whether we like it or not, everyone is going to go. The big question we still have to ask is not where we're going, but what we were doing here in the first place."

When at eighteen, my Mom (who would become a victim of cancer three years later), went along with me to see the Oliver Reed film, I was disappointed. The evil in the world isn't THAT bad, I said.
Well, I was wrong and she was right.
It is that bad.
I just didn't GET it. Pretty dumb, wasn't I? Yikes.

Wow. Whatta Rare Beauty of a book.

A DYNAMITE book! I'm wolfing this one down like CANDY. All the things I have learned about: being a success at work, realizing my depressive burn out was NOT the end & straightening out by FLYING right, and ending a lifetime of mental instability by thinking POSITIVE: It's all here. Though it's primarily aimed at entrepreneurs, folks, Handle this one with Care - it's EXPLOSIVE! AND INEXPENSIVE.

You may find it a bit melodramatic, seeing as it IS Old-Fashioned - but compare our time of sophisticated tastes with the ancient Romans' - and you SEE ITS POINT.

A story that promises to be as compelling as DOCTOR Mark Vonnegut's (yes the son of the writer) Eden Express. TYSM to my new friend Lily for reminding me (in her read list) to Read it!
