YAY!
I can't remember the last time I wanted to read a politician's memoir--until I The Division of Power & Light by former mayor/congressman Dennis Kucinich.

| I'm coming late to David Lodge's many books. I am 2/3 of the way through his trilogy and had to stop. His intense style of looking deeply into everything was getting to be a bit much - so tight, with long passages that seemed to go on and on, and the ...more | |

| Much has already been said about this book, God: A Human History, that you will find long before you find my take. I saw an interview of him at the Harvard Divinity School and he explains or disavows most of the criticism I've read looking over revie ...more | |

| I have to wonder why this book didn't get a National Book Award or a Pulitzer when it was published. Written in 2010, Elliott manages to unveil (with abundant references and examples) what in 2024 is finally making the news at least on social media p ...more | |

| Much has already been written about the second book in the trilogy by Pat Barker. It's as compelling and exact as Regeneration with Dr. Rivers as our guide once again. It's a more intimate look at the horrors of war through the wounding of both civil ...more | |

| If you, like me, loved The Master and Margarita, this book is a great follow-up to the novel. I admit that the narrative preceding each segment of years of letters and diaries is essential in order to keep the names of the people straight and what ro ...more | |

| It sounds like in Facing the Beast that Naomi Wolf's long-time friends, the ones who either ignored her or cut her out of that world, were not worth keeping. And the new friends are gems and worth the pain and loneliness she (and many of us) have gon ...more | |
