Price: $19.79
Customer Review:
This book is a warm, thoughtful invitation to revisit some poets and poems that remind us of the abiding universality of this form of expression. It's also a joyful nudge to try poetry the way it's best experienced....read aloud. I especially love the entries on Eliot, Berryman, Burns and Coleridge. | 5.0 / 5.0

Price: $18.95
Customer Review:
Needless to say, those around me weren't too happy with me the day I read the oh-so-genius "The Master and Margarita". I'm trying to remember the last time a book influenced me this much and made me realize its genius halfway through and laugh hysterically throughout appreciatively. It was probably... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Unconditionally, the character, personality, and mind-set of Sister Aloysius Beauvier (Meryl Streep) in John Patrick Shanley's play, "Doubt" is directly mirrored to that of Nurse Ratchet in Ken Kesey's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

Price: $7.50
Customer Review:
Yeah, they make you read this stuff in high school in a country where most kids find it challenging to read the back of a box of Cap'n Crunch. And because it's forced reading, the novel itself becomes as ossified as one of those dismembered appendages found in Eastern European reliquaries. But if... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

This book actually beat out The Jungle by Upton Sinclair as the most depressing book I've ever read. Although both stories contain equal amounts of death, disfigurements and hopelessness, this one does a better job of painting the characters as real people, and allows the reader to better identify... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
One of those I wish I'd read earlier in life - but there it was on vacation with me and I couldn't put it down. What an amazing clarity Golding had here. The entire story - from the plane going down through the attempts to establish "civilization" & order on the island - to the devolvement of... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
