Excerpt from - A Wind In Montana
1 recommendation
"As a group they stood, speaking short, clipped sentences, trying to sound casual and often letting their attention wander. The short time left before Victoria’s plane would depart moved with the speed of an old dog being put out in the rain. Rory met Victoria’s mother for the first time ever, and, for the first time as Victoria’s boyfriend, met Mr. Beach."
About the Book A Wind In Montana By Mitch Davies
1 recommendation
"Imagine being ambushed into taking the responsibility for directing your own future while still in high school. Each generation’s youths must grow up faster than any generation before and it’s never too early for them to start contemplating the future; to prepare, even just a little, for the obstacles it will place in their way."

Charles Dickens:: Hard Times
1 recommendation
"I just had to read this book for literature class. While normally being forced to read books leads to me overall disliking them, I enjoyed this one. This was a double surprise for me because I was prepared to dislike it because it's Dickens and the last time I had to read him for school it was Tale of Two Cities. (hello, massive symbolism) I've read about 6 of his novels. This one ranks seco..."
Cthulhu Mints
1 recommendation
"Cthulhu is a horrific and terrifying cosmic entity that shows up in some of H.P. Lovecraft's science fiction novels. We're just speculating here, but it would seem that a hideous, tentacle-faced monster like Cthulhu could have some seriously nasty breath. Perhaps if he just had a tin of these mints he might have a more positive attitude? Each 2-1/4" round tin contains about one hundred mints. $..."
Scott Pilgrim Volume 6: Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour: Bryan Lee O'Malley: Books
1 recommendation
"Cannot wait for this to come out!!!!! If you aren't into graphic novels, A. Ew. B. This series is a great intro to graphic novels and will help you become cooler. C. Ew, what is WRONG with YOU?! D. You do know that graphic novels are picture books that are acceptable for adults to read...right??"
Charlotte Bronte:: Jane Eyre
1 recommendation
"Did I recommend this as a movie? Yes. But I love the book perhaps just a little more, for the reason that it took great courage for Charlotte Bronte to attempt to get this published. The industry didn't take to women writing at the time...so she had to publish the book under an androgynous pseudonym. And it's awesome. Timelessly transporting. Jane may be my favorite heroine of all time."
Fibblestax by Devin Scillian
1 recommendation
"A sweeter story would be hard to find, and the artwork is amazing. I am an art education major, and the crosshatching in this book would be a great place to start a lesson on different drawing techniques. The book talks about a boy who was cruelly named Fibblestax, but keeps his name in order to remember the power words can hold. He uses his experience to motivate him to be conscious of the wor..."

Chronic City by Jonathan Lethem
1 recommendation
"Jonathan Lethem's new book is what everyone is reading around New York, and with good reason, as he has long since become a characteristic voice of New York. Chronic City is a surreal book portraying a New York that is even stranger than the one we live in. A must read!"

Monticello Revolving Bookstand
1 recommendation
"Among the many ingenious devices found in Jefferson's Cabinet, this one perhaps most clearly suggests Jefferson's passion for knowledge. One can imagine him turning the stand, completely engrossed, consulting five books at once to find the answer to a burning question. Our bookstand is a line-by-line reproduction of the original, which was made in the joinery at Monticello, probably from Jefferson..."

""super glue your fingers together" or "boil water in a paper cup". Lately we have all become so fixated on protecting our children from every bump, scrape and germ that we forget kids are naturally little scientists. Babys babble to experiment with words and sound. Kids fearlessly climb trees. Why not assist your children in learning about their environment and pushing their boundaries by doing al..."
Eating Animals: Jonathan Safran Foer
3 recommendations
"Just saw JSF speak about this book, and while I was genuinely worried that my beloved favorite writer had become an environmentalist overnight and given up his genius literary ways, that is not the case. The book actually takes a very interesting perspective- it's a conversation, rather than an argument, using brilliant, heart-wrenching anecdotes from JSF's grandmother's life that many are familia..."

The Warrior Heir by Cinda Williams Chima
2 recommendations
"I have read almost every children's fantasy book out there and few surprise me anymore...but this one was FANTASTIC. Cinda Williams Chima is a talented writer with an imagination that details the most absurdly complex parallel world in which magical guilds are undergoing a classic power struggle. It is a fresh take on an old concept."
Inherent Vice : Thomas Pynchon: Books
1 recommendation
"A small disclaimer: I'm not a big fan of mystery or suspense novels, meaning that I haven't read many, so entering into the new Pynchon novel cold was a bit more of an endeavor than I expected. It occurred to me at some point that in a mystery or suspense novel, you have a main character that you will eventually, if at all, learn more about. For me, that's a very hard way to get my attention and f..."

Dingoes at Dinnertime (Magic Tree House, No. 20): Mary Pope Osborne, Sal Murdocca
1 recommendation
"The Magic Tree House series is quite the trip down memory lane. All the books in this series have titles that involve time, such as "Civil War on Sunday," "Revolutionary War on Wednesday," "Tigers at Twilight" and "Earthquake in the Early Morning." Clever."
Betsy-Tacy (Betsy and Tacy Books): Maud Hart Lovelace, Lois Lenski
2 recommendations
"We always had a rotating cycle between all the girls in my class of the Betsy-Tacy books. They were, of course, THE books to read if you were a girl growing up."
Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry: Mildred D. Taylor
1 recommendation
"This was definitely my summer reading book one year in grade school. The title is quite intimidating, and the book is about a black family living in the deep South in the 1930's facing racism."
Skellig: David Almond
1 recommendation
"Nobody believes me that this book existed either, but here I have proof. Skellig is about a creepy old man that a boy discovers living in his attic, covered in cobwebs, but who turns out to have angel wings. Wings! So cool!"
The Chocolate War: Robert Cormier
1 recommendation
"I finally get it now. They were introducing us to the concept of conformity and rebellion, possibly even anarchy. Wow. This is like what you read when you're too young to read Animal Farm, and Animal Farm is what you read when you're too young to read 1984. They should really just start us off with "Anarchy for Dummies.""
