I like kinda sarcastic characters, snarky but not malicious...using it to cope and distance themselves. Kidd provides that. I read this on the bus on my way to and from college. Several times I had to just stop because of how it was tweaki...more

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..."

"Books were such an intrinsic part of our family, that it was hard for me to imagine that both of my parents grew up without them, or that there were people out there who just didn't like to read."
The Cookbook Collector- Allegra Goodman
1 recommendation
""A novel about getting and spending, and about the substitutions we make when we can’t find what we’re looking for: reading cookbooks instead of cooking, speculating instead of creating, collecting instead of living. But above all it is about holding on to what is real in a virtual world: love that stays." I would bet this book becomes a film in a few years."

Out of Print - Lolita Book Cover T-shirt

"T-shirt are getting a make-over and book covers are a great starting point. The Lolita cover is one of my favorites because this story is possibly one of the world's greatest and most controversial tales of obsession. I am obsessed with slim fit tees."

Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
1 recommendation
"Without any question, this is Vladimir Nabokov's best-known work and it's easy to see why. Although Lolita is the kind of book you want to read with your eyes half shut in order to filter out some of the discomfort, you still have to read it. Reading the agonizing story of Humbert Humbert's obsession with Dolores Haze, a girl barely old enough to take the school bus on her own, is like watching a ..."

Lord of the Flies - Sam Weber Illustrated Edition
2 recommendations
"I'm not alone in remembering this as one of the first books I ever really loved. It's standard reading and rereading worthy. And quite frankly, it's insulting if you don't own a copy. However, Sam Weber has given the classic novel an illustrated makeover. The result is a perfect gift for that hip intellectual friend of yours!"
Barnes and Noble: The Wild Things by Dave Eggers
1 recommendation
"Growing up isn't always fun, and it is often downright befuddling, as author and screenwriter Dave Eggers so raucously illustrates in his novelization of "Where the Wild Things Are." Drawing upon Max's furry-friended dream sequence as originally devised by Maurice Sendak, Eggers exposes the feisty animal spirit at the core of one young human named Max. A gift of inspiration for big kids, ages 12..."

Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer: The Twilight Saga - Book 4

"Although this was a good read, I was not captivated like I was by some of the other books of the Twilight Saga. However, isn't it wonderful to dream that unselfish love can conquer ALL?! I did enjoy the complex family / pack relationships and the intertwining of such deep acts of love and suspense. After finishing all four books, I now find myself missing Edward and Bella and their wonderful ..."
Stone's Fall: A Novel: Iain Pears
1 recommendation
"This well design dust jacket makes this novel look really good. Pears constructs an intricate three-part harmony, telling a complex story across three separate time periods, seeming to lose us occasionally in the chord changes but always resurrecting a theme at just the right moment to hold the whole piece together."

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

"I couldn't be more befuddled by this, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies." Apparently, they have take the original masterpiece by Jane Austen and sporadically placed "bone crunching zombie action." Is it a good read? One can only assume no. However, it's probably the best possible gift for your classic literature/ zombie fanatic of a friend."
