Dean Hulton _ean_ulton — The edition I read included "A Note on the Tea Ceremony, the Backdrop for This Novel." I don't think you can miss the significance of tea in this, but I was glad of the information. I did attend a Japanese Tea Ceremony nearly 50 years ago, but my memory of it is dull. I probably wasn't paying enough attention. ;-) In this note is ... Mr. Kawabata's characters nonetheless seem to pause at the intersection, marked for them by the permanence of the old tea vessels and the impermanence of the owners. This edition also includes brief footnotes to tell the Western reader about some of the tea vessels used and of their age - hundreds of years old - which had been passed from generation to generation. A young man struggles with a love connection he has made that is, at best, inappropriate. It is a short novel, I won't include spoilers. But there is also this, which somehow touched me. He gazed at it for a time. In a gourd that had been handed down for three centuries, a flower that would fade in a morning. Maybe you have to read it in context, but it just struck me how fleeting is life.

Minjin Choi minjinchoi — Easily one of the best graphic novels I've read. David B.'s frames are the most consistently intricate I've seen and his story of growing up with an epileptic brother is one of the genre's most haunting tales. Like Maus, its transcendent qualities has the potential to serve as an ambassador for potential comics converts and is one of the best works of recent literature period.

Jay Hoeschler jayhoeschlb717 — I had looked over and passed over this book many, many times and finally cracked it open....and....couldn't put it down. The story of a missionary family in the Congo is fascinating as told alternately through the voices of the wife and 4 daughters of a southern Baptist minister. The characters are so vivid that I found myself gritting my teeth in frustration through some chapters and mentally cheering and nodding agreement in others. While the work is "fiction" the depth of the story, historical references and biblical anecdotes make the Poisonwood Bible authentic and full of impact. It got me thinking a lot about U.S. politics and priorities as well as my own spiritual beliefs and ideas of family.
